Tobacco Road
I was born
In a trunk
My Mumma died,
Yeah, my Daddy got drunk
Left me here
To die alone
in the middle of Tobacco Road
I grew up in, yeah
Rusty shack
All I owned was a hanging on my back
Lord knows how much I loathed
This place called Tobacco Road
Coz its home
The only life I ever know, yeh
And the Lord knows I loathed
Tobacco Road
Yeh, Yeh, Yeh...
I'm gonna leave now
Get me a job
With the help and the grace of God
I'm gonna save my money
Get very rich I know
Bring it back to Tobacco Road
Bring that dynamite, yeh
Big old crane
Blow it up, tear it down
Start all over again
Build me a town
Be very proud to show
Keep the name of Tobacco Road
Coz its home
The only life I ever know, yeh
And the Lord knows I loathed
Tobacco Road
Yeh, Yeh, Yeh.
(Break)
I'm gonna leave now
And get me a job, yeh
With the help and the grace of God
I'm gonna save my money
Get very rich I know
Bring it back to Tobacco Road
Bring that dynamite, yeh
big old crane
Blow it up, tear it down
Start all over again
Build me a town
Be very proud to show
keep the name of Tobacco Road
Coz its home
The only life I ever know, yeh
And the Lord knows I loathed
Tobacco Road.
Yeh,
Tobacco Road.
Yeh, Yeh
