Tobacco Road Lyrics

I was born in a lump
mama died and daddy got drunk
Left me here to die or grow
in the middle of Tobacco Road
Grew up in a rusty shack
all I owned was a hangin' on my back
Only Lord knows how I loathe
this place called Tobacco Road
But it's home
the only life I've ever ever knowed
But the Lord knows I loathe
Tobacco Road
[ guitar solo ]

Gonna leave get me a job
with the help and the grace of God
Save my money get rich I know
bring it back to Tobacco Road

Bring me dynamite and a great big crane
blow it up and start all over again
Build me a town be proud to show
keep the name name
Tobacco Road Tobacco Road ...
