[Intro]
Oh
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Growin' up, rusty shack
All I had was hangin' on my back
Only you know how I loathe
This place called Tobacco Road
[Chorus]
But it's home
Only life I've ever known
Only you know how I loathe
Tobacco Road
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
But it's home
The only life I've ever known
Only you know how I loathe, huh
Tobacco Road
Let's get it on, yeah
[Outro]
Bring that dynamite and a crane
Blow it up, start all ovеr again
Build a town be proud to show
Give the namе Tobacco Road
