Tobacco Road lyrics

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
