Marty Stuart - Hillbilly Rock Lyrics
It comes from Mississippi, and down in AlabamCreepin' like a fever all across the landFrom deep in the Delta on the Louisiana shoreThe people got to have it, they wanna hear some moreIt's the hillbilly rock, beat it with a drumPlayin' them guitars like shootin from a gunKeepin' up the rhythm, steady as a clockDoin' a little thing called the hillbilly rockSome say it came from Memphis down in TennesseeOr it drifted in from Georgia about 1953Just as long as it's greasy, as long as it's fastAs long as it's pumpin' honey, it's gonna lastIt's the hillbilly rock, beat it with a drumPlayin' them guitars like shootin from a gunKeepin' up the rhythm, steady as a clockDoin' a little thing called the hillbilly rockWay back in old Kentucky where the bluegrass growsThrough the Carolinas on them dirt red roadsBurnin like a fire runnin' wild in the woodsFrom Arkansas to Texas, it sounds so goodIt's the hillbilly rock, beat it with a drumPlayin' them guitars like shootin from a gunKeepin' up the rhythm, steady as a clockDoin' a little thing called the hillbilly rockSo when the heat starts to risin' and you gotta blow some steamTake a ride down the river, you'll see just what I meanThe juke joint's jumpin, when that cat goes onThe whole place is shakin', there's a something goin' onIt's the hillbilly rock, beat it with a drumPlayin' them guitars like shootin from a gunKeepin' up the rhythm, steady as a clockDoin' a little thing called the hillbilly rockDoin' a little thing called the hillbilly rockDoin' a little thing called the hillbilly rock
