Tobacco Road

i was born in a trunk
 mama died and my daddy got drunk
 let me hear two dying crows
 in the middle of tobacco road
 grew up in a rusty shack
 all i owned was hanging on my back
 only lord knows how i loved tobacco road
 but it's hard, hard the only life i've ever known
 but the lord knows how i loved
 tobacco road
 gonna leave, get a job
 with the help of the treesome god
 save my money, get rich enough
 bring it back to tobacco road
 bring dynamite and a crane
 blow it up and start all over again
 build a town be proud to show
 give the name tobacco road
 cause it's hard, hard the only life i've ever known
 i despise you cause you're filthy
 but i love you cause you're home
 solo
 bring dynamite and a crane
 blow it up start all over again
 build a town be proud to know
 this place called tobacco road
 cause it's hard, hard the only life i've ever known
 but the lord knows how i love
 tobacco road
