I was born in a dump
My mother died
My daddy got drunk
They left me here
To die or grow
In the middle of
Tobacco road
Tobacco road
Tobacco road

I grew up in a rusty shack
All I ever owned babe
Was hangin' on my back
Lord above know
How much I loathe
This mean ol' place called
Tobacco road
Tobacco road
Tobacco road
Tobacco road
Tobacco road

But it's home yes
The only life I've ever known
And the lord knows
How much I loathe
Tobacco road (road, road, road)

Tobacco road, yeah (road, road, road)
Tobacco road, yeah (road, road, road)
I'm talkin' 'bout road (road, road, road)

And get myself a job (road, road, road)
With the help (road, road, road)
And the grace from above (road, road, road)
I'll get me some dynamite (road, road, road)
And I'll get me a crane (road, road, road)
And I'll blow it all up, tear it down (road, road, road)
Start all over again (road, road, road)
And I'll build me a town (road, road, road)
I'll be proud to show (road, road, road)
And I'll keep the name (road, road, road)
And I'll keep the name (road, road, road)
And I'll keep the name tobacco road, yeah (road, road, road)
Tobacco road, yeah, yeah (road, road, road)
