[00:00:00] Readin', Rightin', Rt. 23 (Acoustic LP Version) - Dwight Yoakam

[00:00:02] Written by：Dwight David Yoakam

[00:00:04] They learned readin' rightin' route 23

[00:00:09] To the jobs that lay waiting in those cities' factories

[00:00:16] They learned readin' rightin' roads to the north

[00:00:22] To the luxury and comfort a coal line can't afford

[00:00:28] They thought readin' rightin' route 23

[00:00:34] Would take them to the good life that they had never seen

[00:00:43] They didn't know that old highway

[00:00:46] Could lead them to a world of misery

[00:00:55] Have you ever been down Kentucky way

[00:00:57] Say south of Preston burg

[00:01:00] Have you ever been up in a holler

[00:01:03] Have you ever heard

[00:01:05] A mountain man cough his life away

[00:01:08] From diggin' that black coal in those dark mines those dark mines

[00:01:16] If you had you might just understand

[00:01:19] The reason that they left is all behind

[00:01:27] They learned readin' rightin' route 23

[00:01:32] To the jobs that lay waiting in those cities' factories

[00:01:39] They learned readin' rightin' roads to the north

[00:01:45] To the luxury and comfort a coal line can't afford

[00:01:51] They thought readin' rightin' route 23

[00:01:56] Would take them to the good life that they had never seen

[00:02:06] They didn't know that old highway

[00:02:09] Could lead them to a world of misery

[00:02:17] Have you ever seen 'em put the kids in the car

[00:02:20] After work on Friday night

[00:02:22] Pull up in a holler about 2 a m

[00:02:25] And see a light still shinin' bright

[00:02:28] Those mountain folks sat up that late

[00:02:31] Just to hold those little grand kids in their arms in their arms

[00:02:39] And I'm proud to say that I've been blessed

[00:02:42] And touched by their sweet hillbilly charm

[00:02:49] They learned readin' rightin' route 23

[00:02:55] To the jobs that lay waiting in those cities' factories

[00:03:01] They learned readin' rightin' roads to the north

[00:03:07] To the luxury and comfort a coal line can't afford

[00:03:14] They thought readin' rightin' route 23

[00:03:19] Would take them to the good life that they had never seen

[00:03:29] They didn't know that old highway

[00:03:32] Could lead them to a world of misery

[00:03:39] It turns out that old highway leads you to a world of misery

[00:03:50] They found that old highway leads you to a world of misery
