I was born, in a dump
My mother died, yea my daddy got drunk
They Left me here, to die or grow
In the middle of Tobacco Road
I Grew up in a rusty shack
All I ever owned was hangin' on my back
Lord knows how much I loathe
This place called Tobacco Road
Chorus
Cause its home,
the only life I've ever known, yea
And the lord knows I loathe,
Tobacco Road, yea (yea, yeeaa)
I'm gonna leave here and get me a job
With the help and the grace of God
I'm gonna save my money, get very rich I know
Bring it back to Tobacco road
Bring Dynamite yea, big ol' crane
Blow it up, tear it down, start all over again
Build me a town be very proud to show
Keep the name of Tobacco Road
Chorus
Cause its home,
the only life I've ever known, yea
And the lord knows I loathe,
Tobacco Road, yea (yea, yeeaa)
