Tobacco Road

Lyrics

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, the only life I 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 ever known Only you know how I loathe Tobacco Road Bring that dynamite and a crane Blow it up, start all over again Build a town, be proud to show Gives the name Tobacco Road
