Lyrics for Tobacco Road

I was born in a bunk Mama died and my daddy got drunk Left me here to die or grow In the middle of Tobacco Road Grew up in a rusty shack All I had was hangin' on my back Only you know how I loathe This place called "Tobacco Road" 'Cause it's home The only life I've 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 Bring dynamite and a crane Blow it 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 I despise you 'cause you're filthy But I love you, 'cause you're home
