Jefferson Airplane - Live... California State University '67

Tobacco Road - Live: San Luis Obispo, CA 19 May 1967

I was born in a dump
My mama died, yeah, my daddy got drunk
Left me here to die or grow
In the middle of Tobacco Road

I grew up in here, rusty shack
All I own was a-hangin' on my back
Lord knows how much I loathe
This place called Tobacco Road

'Cause it's home
The only life I ever known, yeah
And the Lord knows I loathe
Tobacco Road, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm gonna leave now, 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 here, big old 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

'Cause it's home
The only life I ever known, yeah
And the Lord knows I loathe
Tobacco Road, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm gonna leave now, get me a job, yeah
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 here, big old 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

'Cause it's home
The only life I ever known, yeah
And the Lord knows I loathe
Tobacco Road, yeah
Tobacco Road, yeah, yeah, yeah
