I was born on a farm
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
Bring dynamite and a crane
Blow it up, start all over again
Build a town‚ be proud to show
My home‚ Tobacco Road
'Cause it's home
The only life I've ever known
I despise you 'cause you're filthy
But I love you 'cause you're home
My home‚ Tobacco Road
My home, my home, my home
My home‚ it's my home
Tobacco Road
Yeah
