uuummmmm...
oh oh. .oh oh oh oh oh ooo oh ooo ooo oh oh oh...
I was born
in a dump
my mammy died and
my daddy got drunk
they left me here
to die or grow
in the middle of Tobacco Road
I grew up in
a rusty shack
well all I owned
was a-hanging on my back
Lord knows
how I loathe
this place called Tobacco Road
I'll miss ya, Homey
talking 'bout the only life I've ever known
I despise you
cuz you're filthy
but I love you
cuz you're home
I'm gonna leave
And get a job
Now with the help
and the grace from God
Gonna save my money
And get rich I know
And bring it back to Tobacco Road
Bring dynamite
A big old crate
Blow it up
Tear it down
And start all over again
Gonna build me a town
That I'll be proud to show
I think I'll keep the name of Tobacco Road
You're such a town, oh yeah!
The only life that I've ever known
I despise you
cuz you're filthy
but I love you
because you're home
Tobacco Road
Tobacco Road
Yeah, you're dirty and you're filthy
Oh, Tobacco Road
I'm gonna get me some dynamite
A big old crate
Blow it up
Tear it down
And start all over again
I despise you
cuz you're filthy
but I love you
because you're home!
Tobacco Road
