Hillbilly's Gotta Hit the Books



Can't hear it? Click here to get it started!

Born and raised out in the countryside
How I loved it every day
Spent my winters cuttin' firewood
And my summers haulin' hay
But I know I can't live on that alone
Time to find me a better way

Chorus
This hillbilly's gotta hit the books
One look at my future was all it took
I've had my joy
But I'm no longer a boy
Gotta learn a thing or two
Gotta find something better to do

Never could stand to be in a crowd
Need to find me a college that's small
And I better read up on the ACT
Or I may not get in at all
One summer month left to enjoy
Then look out, here comes fall

Repeat Chorus

What will I do with myself?
What do I want to be?
Maybe some agribusiness
Or a little chemistry
(Naw...that just ain't me)

First week's over and it's Saturday
And I'm lyin' here in bed
Not as bad as I though it would be
But I ain't quite over the dread
All those classes, and all those books
And oh my achin' head

Repeat chorus 2 times
