I was born in a bunk
Mama died and my daddy got drunk
Left me here to die alone
In the middle of Tobacco Road
Grew up in rusty shack
all I had was 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
Gonna leave get a job
with the help and the grace from above
Save some money get rich and old
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
Give the name Tobacco Road
But it`s home the only life I ever known
I despise you `cause you`re filthy
But I love ya `cause you`re home
