I was born in a trunk
Mama died and my daddy got drunk
Left me here to die alone
in the middle of Tobacco Road
Growin' up rusty shack
all I had was hangin' on my back
Only you know how I loathe
this place called Tobacco Road
But it's home, the only life I ever known
Only you know how I loathe Tobacco Road
Gonna leave, get a job
with the help and the grace from above
Save some money, get rich and old
bring it back to Tobacco Road
But it's home, the only life I ever known
Only you know how I loathe Tobacco Road
Bring that dynamite and a crane
blow it up, start all over again
Build a town, be proud to show
Gives the name Tobacco Road
