| i was born in a trunk
|
| mama died and my daddy got drunk
|
| let me hear two dying crows
|
| in the middle of tobacco road
|
| grew up in a rusty shack
|
| all i owned was hanging on my back
|
| only lord knows how i loved tobacco road
|
| but its hard, hard the only life ive ever known
|
| but the lord knows how i loved
|
| tobacco road
|
| gonna leave, get a job
|
| with the help of the treesome god
|
| save my money, get rich enough
|
| bring it back to tobacco road
|
| bring dynamite and a crane
|
| blow it up and start all over again
|
| build a town be proud to show
|
| give the name tobacco road
|
| cause its hard, hard the only life ive ever known
|
| i dispise you cause youre filthy
|
| but i love you cause youre home
|
| bring dynamite and a crane
|
| blow it up start all over again
|
| build a town be proud to know
|
| this place called tobacco road
|
| cause its hard, hard the only life ive ever known
|
| but the lord knows how i love
|
| tobacco road |
