I Was Born In A Bunk

Mother Died And My Daddy Got Drunk

Left Me Here To Die Or Grow

In The Middle Of Tobacco Road



Grew Up In A Dusty Shack

All I Had Was A-hangin On My Back

Only You Know How I Loathe

This Place Called Tobacco Road



But It's Home

The Only Life I've Ever Known

Only You Know How I Loathe

Oh, Tobacco Road



I'm Gonna Leave And Get A Job

With The Help And Grace From Above

Save Some Money, Get Rich I Know

Bring It Back To Tobacco Road



Bring Dynamite And A Crane

Blow It Up, Start All Over Again

Build A Town Be Proud To Show

Give The Name Tobacco Road



Cause It's Home

The Only Life I've Ever Known

Oh I Despise And Disapprove You

But I Love Ya, 'cause It's Home
