Tobacco Road (mono) Lyrics

I was born in a trunk
My mother died and my daddy got drunk
Left me here to die or grow
In the middle of Tobacco Road
I grew up in here a dusty shack
All I owned was a-hanging on my back
Lord knows how much I loathed
This place called Tobacco Road

But it's home
The only life I ever know, yeah
And the Lord knows I loathed
Tobacco Road, yeah yeah

I'm gonna leave now, get me a job
With the help and the grace of God
I'm gonna save my money, get very rich, I know
Bring it back to Tobacco Road
Bring dynamite, yeah, big old crane
Blow it up, tear it down, start all over again
Build me a town, be very proud to show
Keep the name of Tobacco Road

'Cause it's home
The only life I ever know, yeah
And the Lord knows I loathed
Tobacco Road, yeah yeah

I'm gonna leave now and get me a job, yeah
With the help and the grace of God
I'm gonna save my money, get very rich, I know
Bring it back to Tobacco Road
Bring dynamite, yeah, big old crane
Blow it up, tear it down, start all over again
Build me a town, be very proud to show
Keep the name of Tobacco Road

'Cause it's home
The only life I ever know, yeah
And the Lord knows I loathed
Tobacco Road, yeah

Tobacco Road, yeah yeah
