Tobacco Road
John D. Loudermilk
I was born in a dump
Mama died and my daddy got drunk
Left me here to die or grow
In the middle of Tobacoo Road
Growin' up rusty shack all I had was hanging on my back
Only you know how I loathe
This place called Tobacco Road
But it's home
Ah! Heh! The only life that I've ever know
Only you know how I love Tobacco Road
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
But it's home, the only life that I've ever know
Only you know how I love
Huh! Tobacco Road
Wa! Let's give it out
Ah! Bring that dynamite and a crane blow it up start all over again
Build a town be proud to show
In the name
Tobacco Road
