Tobacco Road

Lyrics

Loudermilk I was born in a dump Mother died and my daddy got drunk He left me here to die or grow In the middle of Tobacco Road I grew up in a rusty shack And all I had own was hangin' on my back The lord knows how I loathe This place called Tobacco Road But its home, it's really my home The only life I've ever known But the lord, the lord knows I loathe Tobacco Road I'm gonna leave and get a job With the help and the grace of God I'll save my money, get rich I know Bring it back to Tobacco Road I'm gonna get me some dynamite Gonna bring me a crane Got to Blow you up, got to tear you down And start all over again Well I'll Build a town, I'll be proud to show Keep the name of Tobacco Road Cause it's home The only life I've ever known I despise you 'cause you filthy But I love ya, 'cause it's home Tobacco Road Tobacco Road You dirty and filthy Tobacco road Gonna get me some dynamite Gonna bring me a crane Got to Blow you up, got to tear you down And start all over again Tobacco road Tobacco road I despise you, I despise you 'cause you filthy But I love ya, 'cause it's home Tobacco road
