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 Growing 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 Only life I've ever known Only you know how I loathe Tobacco Road Wanna 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 life I've ever known Only you know how I loathe Tobacco Road Woo, let's get it on ♪ Bring that dynamite and a crane Blow it up and start over again Build a town, be proud to show Give the name Tobacco Road
