Tobacco Road
I was born in a trunk.
Mama died and my daddy got drunk.
Left me here to die alone
In the middle of tobacco road.
Growin' up lord in a rusty shack,
And all I had was hangin' on my back.
Lord knows how I loathe
This place called Tobacco Road.
But it's home,
The only life, life, life I've ever known.
And I guess I can't help but
Loathe Tobacco.
[Instrumental]
Gonna leave, and get a job
With the help and the grace from above.
I'll save my money, get rich and old,
And I think I'll bring it all back to Tobacco Road.
Bring dynamite and a big old crane,
And I'll blow it up, start all over again.
I'm gonna build me a town, that Ill be proud to show.
And I think I'll give it the name Tobacco Road.
But it's home,
The only life I've ever known.
I guess I can't help but love you
'Cause you're home
Tobacco Road
Tobacco Road
Whoah, Tobacco Road
Bring dynamite and a big old crane,
I'll blow it up, tear it down and start all over again.
I guess I can't help but I love...
I love you...
Yeah...
Tobacco...!
[Instrumental and vocalizing]
I love you!
Oh I love you!
Oh I love you!
I love you!
I love you!
I love you!
[Vocalizing]
I love you 'cause you're home
I'm talkin' 'bout Tobacco Road, yeah
Tobacco Road, yeah!
Mama died and my daddy got drunk.
Left me here to die alone
In the middle of tobacco road.
Growin' up lord in a rusty shack,
And all I had was hangin' on my back.
Lord knows how I loathe
This place called Tobacco Road.
But it's home,
The only life, life, life I've ever known.
And I guess I can't help but
Loathe Tobacco.
[Instrumental]
Gonna leave, and get a job

Tobacco Road
Tobacco Road
Whoah, Tobacco Road
Bring dynamite and a big old crane,
