|
I was born in a trunk |
|
Mama died and my daddy got drunk |
|
Left me here to die alone |
|
In the middle of Tobacco Road |
|
Growin' up rusty shack |
|
All I had was hangin' on my back |
|
Only you know how I loathe |
|
This place called Tobacco Road |
|
But it's home, the only life I ever known |
|
Only you know how I loathe Tobacco Road |
|
Gonna leave, get a job |
|
With the help and the grace from above |
|
Save some money, get rich and old |
|
Bring it back to Tobacco Road |
|
But it's home, the only life I ever known |
|
Only you know how I loathe Tobacco Road |
|
Bring that dynamite and a crane |
|
Blow it up, start all over again |
|
Build a town, be proud to show |
|
Gives the name Tobacco Road |
