Lyrics
Tobacco Road
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was born in a lump mama died and daddy got drunk
Left me here to die or grow in the middle of Tobacco Road
Grew up in a rusty shack all I owned was a hangin' on my back
Only Lord knows how I loathe this place called Tobacco Road
But it's home the only life I've ever ever knowed
But the Lord knows I loathe Tobacco Road
[ ac.guitar ]
Gonna leave get a job with the help and the grace of God
Save my money get rich I know bring it back to Tobacco Road
Bring dynamite and a crane blow it up and start all over again
Build a town be proud to show keep the name Tobacco Road
Cause it's home the only life I've ever ever knowed
I despite you cause you're filthy but I love you cause you're home
