Hillbilly Rock Lyrics - Hillbilly Rock - Marty Stuart

It comes from Mississippi, and down in Alabam' 

Creepin' like a fever all across the land 

From deep in the Delta on the Louisiana shore 

The people got to have it, they want to hear some more 

It's the hillbilly rock, beat it with a drum 

Playin' them guitars like shootin from a gun 

Keepin' up the rhythm, steady as a clock 

Doin' a little thing called the hillbilly rock 

Some say it came from Memphis down in Tennessee 

Or it drifted in from Georgia about 1953 

Just as long as it's greasy, as long as it's fast 

As long as it's pumpin' honey, it's gonna last 

It's the hillbilly rock, beat it with a drum 

Playin' them guitars like shootin' from a gun 

Keepin' up the rhythm, steady as a clock 

Doin' a little thing called the hillbilly rock 

Way back in old Kentucky where the bluegrass grows 

Through the Carolinas on them dirt red roads 

Burnin like a fire runnin' wild in the woods 

From Arkansas to Texas, it sounds so good 

It's the hillbilly rock, beat it with a drum 

Playin' them guitars like shootin from a gun 

Keepin' up the rhythm, steady as a clock 

Doin' a little thing called the hillbilly rock 

So when the heat starts to risin' and you gotta blow some steam 

Take a ride down the river, you'll see just what I mean 

The juke joint's jumpin', when that cat goes on 

The whole place is shakin', there's a something goin' on 

It's the hillbilly rock, beat it with a drum 

Playin' them guitars like shootin from a gun 

Keepin' up the rhythm, steady as a clock 

Doin' a little thing called the hillbilly rock 

Doin' a little thing called the hillbilly rock 

Doin' a little thing called the hillbilly rock
