I was born in a dump
Mama died
And my daddy got drunk
Left me here
To die or grow
In the middle
Of Tobacoo Road

Growin' up rusty shack
All i had
Was hanging on my back
Only you know how i loathe
This place
Called Tobacco Road

But it's home
Ah, heh
The only life
That i've ever know

Only you know
How i love Tobacco Road

Gonna leave get a job
With the help
And the grace from above
Save some money get rich
I know bring it back
To Tobacco Road

But it's home
The only life
That i've ever know

Only you know how i love
Huh, Tobacco Road
Wa, let's give it out

Ah, bring that dynamite
And a crane blow it up
Start all over again
Build a town
Be proud to show
In the name
