Tobacco Road

I was born in a dump
 Mama died and daddy got drunk
 Left me here to die or grow
 In the middle of Tobacco Road
 Grew up in 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 my home,
 The only life I've ever known
 Lord knows I love you so
 Tobacco Road
 Gonna leave, get me a job
 With some help and the grace of God
 Make some money, which I know
 And bring it back to Tobacco Road
 'Cause it's home
 The only life I've ever known
 Lord knows I love you so, Tobacco Road
 Bring dynamite, and a big crane
 Blow it all up, start over again
 Build a town, I'd be proud to show
 Name that sucker, Tobacco Road
 'Cause it's my home
 The only life I've ever known
 Lord knows I love you so, Tobacco Road
 Tobacco Road
 Swampy, foggy, smokey place
 You need a voodoo guide
