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
