Bobbie Gentry - The Delta Sweete (Deluxe Edition)

Tobacco Road

I was born in a bunk
My mother died and my daddy got drunk
Left me here to die or grow
In the middle of tobacco road
Grew up in a dusty shack
And all i had was hanging on my back
Only you know how i loathe this place
Called tobacco road
But its home
The only life I've ever known
Only you know how i loathe
Tobacco road
Gonna leave and get a job
With the help and grace from above
Save some money
Get rich and old
Bring it back to tobacco road
Bring dynamite and crane
Blow it up start all over again
Build a town you're proud to show
Give the name Tobacco Road
But its home
The only life I've ever known
Oh, I despise it and loathe it
But I love it cause its home
