Tobacco Road 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 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've ever known
And the Lord knows I loathed
Tobacco Road

I'm gonna leave now, get me a job
With the help and the grace of god
Im gonna save some money, get very rich I know
Bring it back to Tobacco Road
Bring Dynamite, 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've ever known
And the Lord knows I loathed
I'm gonna leave now
And get me a job, yeh
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 that dynamite, yeh
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
Coz its home
The only life I ever know, yeh
And the Lord knows I loathed
Tobacco Road.
Yeh,
Tobacco Road.
Yeh, Yeh
