Tobacco Road
'Cause I was born in a dump
My mama died and my daddy got drunk
He left me here to die or grow
In the middle of Tobacco Road
I grew up in a rusty shack
All I owned was hangin' on my back
The Lord knows, how I loathe
This place called, Tobacco Road
But it's a home, yeah
The only life I'll ever know
And the Lord knows, I loathe
Tobacco Road, yeah
I'm gonna leave and get a job
With the help and the grace from above
Save my money and get rich I know
And bring it back to Tobacco Road
Bring dynamite and a crane
Blow it up and start all over again
And I'll build a town, I'll be proud to show
And keep the name, Tobacco Road
'Cause it's a home, yeah, yeah
The only life I'll ever know
And despise you called you filthy but I love it
But I love you because you're my home
Hey, Tobacco Road, Tobacco Road
Now you're dirty and you're filthy
Tobacco Road
I'm gonna get me some dynamite
And I'll bring me a crane
And then blow it up
I'll tear down and start out all over again
Tobacco Road, Tobacco Road
And I love you, yeah
Because you're my home
But you're dirty and you're filthy
Tobacco Road
I'm gonna blow you up
I'm gonna tear you down
And I'll build me a town
That I will be proud to show
But I'll keep the name
I'm gonna keep the name
I'm gonna keep the name
A Tobacco Road, a Tobacco Road
Tobacco Road, road, road, road
I'm talkin' 'bout
Tobacco Road, road, oh yeah
My mama died and my daddy got drunk
He left me here to die or grow
In the middle of Tobacco Road
I grew up in a rusty shack
All I owned was hangin' on my back
The Lord knows, how I loathe
This place called, Tobacco Road
But it's a home, yeah
The only life I'll ever know
And the Lord knows, I loathe
Tobacco Road, yeah
I'm gonna leave and get a job
With the help and the grace from above
Save my money and get rich I know
And bring it back to Tobacco Road
Bring dynamite and a crane
Blow it up and start all over again
And I'll build a town, I'll be proud to show
And keep the name, Tobacco Road
'Cause it's a home, yeah, yeah
The only life I'll ever know
And despise you called you filthy but I love it
But I love you because you're my home
Hey, Tobacco Road, Tobacco Road
Now you're dirty and you're filthy
Tobacco Road
I'm gonna get me some dynamite
And I'll bring me a crane
And then blow it up
I'll tear down and start out all over again
Tobacco Road, Tobacco Road
And I love you, yeah
Because you're my home
But you're dirty and you're filthy
Tobacco Road
I'm gonna blow you up
I'm gonna tear you down
And I'll build me a town
That I will be proud to show
But I'll keep the name
I'm gonna keep the name
I'm gonna keep the name
A Tobacco Road, a Tobacco Road
Tobacco Road, road, road, road
I'm talkin' 'bout
Tobacco Road, road, oh yeah
