Oh, I was born in a dump My mama died, daddy got drunk He left me here to die or grow In the middle of Tobacco Road I grew up in a rusty shack And all I owned was hangin' on my back The Lord knows how I loathe This place called, Tobacco Road But it's home, it's really my home The only life I'll ever know But the Lord knows I loathe Tobacco Road I'm gonna leave and get a job With the help and the grace of God I save my money, get rich I know Bring it back to Tobacco Road Well, well, well Gonna bring me some dynamite, gonna bring me a crane Got to blow you up, got to tear you down, start all over again I'll rebuild the town, I'll be proud to show And keep the name of Tobacco Road But it's home, it's home The only life that I've ever known I despise you 'cause you're filthy But I love you because you're my home Tobacco Road, Tobacco Road Tobacco Road, Tobacco Road Say you're dirty and filthy I despise, I despise you 'cause you're filthy But I love you because you're my home Tobacco Road, road Talkin' about a dirty, funky, filthy low down place Tobacco Road, well, you're so dirty and filthy
