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
|
Grew up in a dirty shack all I owned was a hangin' on my back
|
Lord knows how I loathe this place called Tobacco Road
|
But it's home the only life I've ever known yeah I can't help but loathe Tobacco Road
|
Gonna leave and get a job with the help and the grace of God
|
Save my money get rich I know bring it back to Tobacco Road
|
Bring dynamite and a crane blow it up and start all over again
|
Build a town be proud to show keep the name Tobacco Road
|
Cause it's home the only life I've ever known
|
I despite you cause you're filthy but I love you cause you're home
|
