Lyrics
I was born in a dump
Mama died and my daddy got drunk
Left me here to die or grow
In the middle of Tobacco Road
But it's home the only life I've ever known
But the Lord knows how I loathe it so
Tobacco Road
I'm gonna leave and get me a job
With the help and the grace from up above
Make some money get rich I know
And bring it back to Tobacco Road
Cause you're home the only life I've ever known
But the Lord knows how I loathe it so
Tobacco Road
I bring dynamite and a crane
I blow it up and start all over again
I build a town be proud to show
Keep the name of Tobacco Road
Cause you're home the only life I've ever known...
Tobacco Road Tobacco Road
