Tobacco Road

Oh

I was born in a trunk

Mama died and my daddy got drunk

Left me here to die alone

In the middle of Tobacco Road

Growin' up, rusty shack

All I had was hangin' on my back

Only you know how I loathe

This place called Tobacco Road

But it's home

Oh, the only life I've ever known

Only you know how I loathe

Tobacco Road

Gonna leave, get a job

With the help and the grace

From above

Save some money, get rich and old

Bring it back to Tobacco Road

But it's home

The only life I've ever known

Only you know how I loathe

Huh, Tobacco Road

Whoa, shake it up

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey

Let's go

Ah, bring that dynamite and a crane

Blow it up, start over again

Build a town, be proud to show

Give the name Tobacco Road
