Tobacco Road

I was born in a dump

Mama died and my daddy got drunk

He left me there to die or grow

In this place called Tobacco Road

I grew up in a rusty shack

All I own was hangin' on my back

Lord knows how I loathe

This place called Tobacco Road

But it's home, yeah

The only life that I've ever known

I used to livin' that way, baby, and it's price of you

But I Love you 'cause you're my own

I'm gonna leave get a job

With the help and grace from above

Save my money get rich I know

In this place called Tobacco Road

Bring Dynamite and a crane

Blow it up and start all over again

Build a town I'll be proud to show

And keep the name of Tobacco Road

But it's home

The only life that I've ever known

I used to livin' that way, and it's price of you

But I Love you 'cause you're my own

Tobacco Road, Tobacco Road, Tobacco Road
