Lyrics
I was born in a trunk
Mama 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 hangin' on my back
Only you know how I loathe
This place called Tobacco Road
'Cause it's home
The only life I've 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
Bring dynamite and a crane
Blow it up, start all over again
Build a town be proud to show
Give the name Tobacco Road
'Cause it's home
The only life I've ever known
I despise you 'cause you're filthy
But I loves you 'cause you're home
