Mercury Rev feat. Susanne Sundfør - Bobbie Gentry's The Delta Sweete Revisited

Tobacco Road (feat. Susanne Sundfør)

I was born in a bunk
My 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
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 much 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 it up
And start over again
Build a town
Be proud to show
Give it the name
Of Tobacco Road

But it's home
The only life I've ever known
Only you know
How much I loathe
The only life I've ever know
Tobacco Road
