- Tobacco Road LyricsI was born in a bunk
Mother died and my daddy got drunk
Left me here to die or grow
In the middle of Tobacco Road
Grew up in a dusty shack
And all I had was a-hangin' on my back
Only you know how I loathe
This place called Tobacco Road
But it's home
The only life I've ever known
Only you know how I loathe
Tobacco Road
I'm gonna leave and get a job
With the help and the grace from above
Save some money, get rich I know
Bring it back to Tobacco Road
Bring dynamite and a crane
Blow you 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
Oh, I despise and disapprove you
But I love ya 'cause it's home
Mother died and my daddy got drunk
Left me here to die or grow
In the middle of Tobacco Road
Grew up in a dusty shack
And all I had was a-hangin' on my back
Only you know how I loathe
This place called Tobacco Road
But it's home
The only life I've ever known
Only you know how I loathe
Tobacco Road
I'm gonna leave and get a job
Save some money, get rich I know
Bring it back to Tobacco Road
Bring dynamite and a crane
Blow you 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
Oh, I despise and disapprove you
But I love ya 'cause it's home
