Lyrics

I was born in a dump
Momma 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
Now you know how much 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

Solo

Gonna leave 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 it up start all over again
Build a town be proud to show
Keep the name Tobacco Road

But it's home the only life I've ever known
I despise you cause your filthy
But I love you cause your home

But it's home the only life I've ever known
Only you know how I loathe Tobacco Road
