Mama died and my daddy got drunk.
Left me here to die alone
In the middle of Tobacco Road.
Growin' up rusty shack,
All I had was hangin' on my back.
Only you know how I loathe
This place called Tobacco Road.
But it's home, the only life I ever known.
Only you know how I loathe Tobacco Road.
Gonna leave, get a job
With the help and the grace from above.
Save some money, get rich and old,
Bring it back to Tobacco Road.
But it's home, the only life I ever known.
Only you know how I loathe Tobacco Road.
Bring that dynamite and a crane,
Blow it up, start all over again.
Build a town, be proud to show.
Gives the name Tobacco Road.
I was born in a trunk. Mama died and my daddy got drunk. Left me here to die alone In the middle of Tobacco Road. Growin' up rusty shack, All I had was hangin' on my back. Only you know how I loathe This place called Tobacco Road. But it's home, the only life I ever known. Only you know how I loathe Tobacco Road. Gonna leave, get a job With the help and the grace from above. Save some money, get rich and old, Bring it back to Tobacco Road. But it's home, the only life I ever known. Only you know how I loathe Tobacco Road. Bring that dynamite and a crane, Blow it up, start all over again. Build a town, be proud to show. Gives the name Tobacco Road. Explain Request ×
