Tobacco Road

I was born in a dump
 My mama died, yeah, my daddy got drunk
 Left me here to die or grow
 In the middle of Tobacco Road
 
 I grew up in here, rusty shack
 All I own was a-hangin' on my back
 Lord knows how much I loathe
 This place called Tobacco Road
 'Cause it's home
 The only life I ever known, yeah
 And the Lord knows I loathe
 Tobacco Road, yeah, yeah, yeah
 I'm gonna leave now, get me a job
 With the help and the grace of God
 I'm gonna save my money, get very rich, I know
 Bring it back to Tobacco Road
 Bring dynamite here, big old crane
 Blow it up, tear it down, start all over again
 Build me a town, be very proud to show
 Keep the name of Tobacco Road
 'Cause it's home
 The only life I ever known, yeah
 And the Lord knows I loathe
 Tobacco Road, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
