[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] Grew up in a dusty shack And all I had was ahangin on my back Only you know how I loathe This place called Tobacco Road [Chorus] But its home The only life Ive ever known Only you know how I loathe Tobacco Road [Verse 3] Im gonna leave and get a job With the help and the grace from above Save some money, get rich and old Bring it back to Tobacco Road [Verse 4] Bring dynamite and a crane And blow it up, start all over again Build a town be proud to show Give the name Tobacco Road You might also like[Chorus] But its home The only life Ive ever known Oh, I despise and disapprove it But I love it cause its home
