Tobacco Road

[Verse 1]

I was born in a bunk

My mama died and my daddy got drunk

Left me here to die or grow

In the middle of Tobacco Road

I grew up in a dusty shack

And all I had was a-hangin' on my back

Only you'd know how I loathe

This place called Tobacco Road

[Chorus]

But it's home

The only life I've ever known

Only you'd know how I loathe

Tobacco Road (Tobacco Road, Tobacco Road)

[Verse 2]

I'm gonna leave and get a job (Tobacco Road)

With the help and the grace from above (Tobacco Road)

Save some money (Tobacco Road), get rich I know

Bring it back to Tobacco Road (Tobacco Road)

Bring dynamite (Tobacco Road) and a crane

Blow it up and start all over again (Tobacco Road)

Build a town (Tobacco Road) be proud to show

Give it the name of Tobacco Road

[Chorus]

But it's home (It's home)

The only life I've ever known (I've ever known)

Only you know how I loathe (Only you, how I loathe)

But it's home ('Cause it's home)

The only life I've ever known (Ever known)

That I despise and disapprove of you (Tobacco Road)

Is to love you (Tobacco Road)

'Cause it's home (Tobacco Road)

'Cause it's home (Tobacco Road)

'Cause it's home (Tobacco Road)

It's home (Tobacco Road)

[Outro]

Tobacco Road
