Oh!
I was born, in a truck.
Mama died and my daddy got drunk.
Left me here, to die alone
in the middle of Tobacco Road.
Growin up, a 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 that I have 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.
But it's home,
The Only place I've ever known.
Only you know how I loathe,
Tobacco Road.
Bring that dynamite and a crane,
blow it up, start all over again.
Build a town, I'll be proud to show.
