Biografía:
Yoakam fue uno de los pioneros en la recuperación del country desde una perspectiva rock. El vaquero de Kentucky venera a BUCK OWENS y a ELVIS PRESLEY por igual, se siente más cercano a Blasters que a Garth Brooks. Un "urban cowboy" para el siglo XXI.
Parece ser que el aterrizaje en Nashville, a mediados de los 70, de un menda llamado Dwight Yoakam, equipado con un pesado fardo de honky tonk al estilo Buck Owens, no fue muy feliz y, de entrada, fue rechazado por no ajustarse a los cánones del "mainstream" de la època.

Intro: D
D
They learned readin', writin', Route 23
G D
To the jobs that lay waiting in those cities' factories
A
they didn't know that that old highway
G D
Could lead them to a world of misery
D
Have you ever been down Kentucky way
Say south of Prestonburg
Have you ever been up in a holler
Have you ever heard
G
A mountain man cough his life away
From diggin' that black coal
D
In those dark mines, those old dark mines
C
If you had you might just understand
G D
The reason that they left is all behind
Chorus:
D
'cause They learned readin', wrightin', Route 23
G D
To the jobs that lay waitin' in those cities' factories
They learned readin', writin', roads to the north
G D
To the luxury and comfort a coal miner can't afford
They thought readin', writin', Route 23
G D
Ah Would take them to the good life that they had never seen
A
They didn't know that old highway
G D
Could lead them to a world of misery
guitar solo: D A G D
D
Have you ever seen 'em
Put the kids in the car after work on Friday night
Pull up in a holler about 2 A. M.
And see a light still shinin' bright
G
Those mountain folks sat up that late
to hold those little grandkids
D
In their arms, in their arms
C
And I'm proud to say that I've been blessed
G D
And touched by their sweet hillbilly charm
Chorus:

Oh Would take them to the good life that they had never seen

A
Yeah, it turns out that that old highway,
G D
Leads you to a world of misery
