Lyrics:
I was born in a dump My momma died and my daddy got drunk Left me here to die or grow In the middle of Tobacco Road I grew up in a rusty shaft All I owned was a'hangin' on my back Lord knows how much I loathe This place called Tobacco Road Cause it's home The only life I ever known And the Lord knows I loathe Tobacco Road I'm gonna leave and get me a job With the help and the grace of God I'm gonna save some money, get rich I know Bring it back to Tobacco Road Bring Dynamite, big old crane Blow it up, tear it down, start all over again Build me a town be proud to show Keep the name of Tobacco Road Cause it's home The only life I ever known And the Lord knows I loathe Tobacco Road I'm gonna leave and get me a job With the help and the grace of God I'm gonna save some money, get rich I know Bring it back to Tobacco Road Bring Dynamite, big old crane Blow it up, tear it down, start all over again Build me a town be proud to show Keep the name of Tobacco Road Cause it's home The only life I ever known And the Lord knows I loathe Tobacco Road Tobacco Road
