Tobacco Road

I was born in a bunk 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 a-hangin' on my back Only you know how I loathe This place called Tobacco Road But it's home The only life I've ever known Only you know how I loathe Tobacco Road I'm gonna leave and get a job With the help and the grace from above Save some money, get rich I know Bring it back to Tobacco Road Bring dynamite and a crane Blow you up, start all over again Build a town be proud to show Give the name Tobacco Road Cause it's home The only life I've ever known Oh, I despise and disapprove you But I love ya 'cause it's home
