Southside Blues/Tobacco Road |
| 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 |
| Grew up in a dusty shack |
| And all I had was a’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 |
| I’m gonna leave and get a job |
| With the help and the grace from above |
| Save some money, get rich I know |
| Bring it back to Tobacco Road |
| Bring Dynamite and a crane |
| Blow you up, start all over again |
| Build a town be proud to show |
| Give the name Tobacco Road |
| Cause it’s home |
| The only life I’ve ever known |
| Oh I despise and disapprove you |
| But I love ya, 'cause it’s home |
