- Songwriters: Ed King, Gary Rossington, Johnny Van Zant
Getting work ain't easy in the hills of Tennessee
But things are bad all over, my friends keep telling me
Even though I grew up there and never thought I'd leave
Had too many bills to pay, seven mouths to feed
Movin' to the city was all that I could do
Got them hillbilly blues
People here won't say good morning, they won't even take the time
I guess I know just how it feels to have something on your mind
So all I want is to go back home and fish in a mountain stream
This ol' life I'm living, Lord, You know it ain't for me
They say the sun it shines out here but all I see is rain
Got them hillbilly blues
Got them hillbilly blues
All I want is to go back home and fish in a mountain stream
This ol' life I'm living, Lord, You know it ain't for me
They say the sun it shines out here, but all I see is rain
Got them hillbilly blues
Hillbilly blues
Hillbilly blues
