Tobacco Road

I was born in a bunk.

Mummy died and my daddy got drunk.

Left me here to die or grow.

In the middle of Tobacco Road.



Grew up in a rusty shack,

All I had was hanging on my back.

Only you know how I loath

This place called Tobacco Road.



But it's home.

The only life I've ever known.

Only you know how I love you,

Tobacco Road.



I'm gonna leave and get a job,

With the help and grace from above.

I'll make some money get rich I know,

And bring it back to Tobacco Road.



'Cause it's home

The only life I've ever known

Only you know how I love you

Tobacco Road.



Break



I'm gonna leave and get a job,

With the help and grace from above.

I'll make some money get rich I know,

And bring it back to Tobacco Road.



Bring dynamite and a crane

Blow it up start all over again

Build a town I'll be proud to show

Keep the name of Tobacco Road.



'Cause it's home

The only life I've ever known

I despise you 'cause you're filthy

But I love you

'Cause you're home.
