Oh
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
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
But it's home
The only life
I've ever known
Only you
know how I loathe huh
Tobacco Road
Bring that dynamite
and a crane
Blow it up
start all over again
Build a town
be proud to show
Give the name
Tobacco Road
