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.
Grow 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 ever known. Only you know how I loathe Tobacco Road.
Interlude 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 that dynamite and a crane
Blow it up, start all over again. Build a town, be proud to show. Gives the name Tobacco Road. But it's home, the only life I ever known And it's lost... But I lost it's your home
