Tobacco Road Lyrics - Colvin & Earle - Colvin & Earle

I was born in a dump 

Mama died and my daddy got drunk 

Left me here to die or grow 

In the middle of Tobacco Road 

Grew up in a 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've 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 

Bring dynamite and a crane 

Blow it up, start all over again 

Build a town, be proud to show 

Give the name of Tobacco Road 

But it's home, the only life I've ever known 

Only you know how I loathe Tobacco Road 

But it's home, the only life I've ever known 

Only you know how I loathe 

Tobacco Road
