I was born, and I'm bornMy mama died and my daddy got drunkThey left me here to die and growIn the middle of Tobacco RoadGrew up in a rusty shackAll I had was a hangin' on my backOnly you know how I loveThis place called Tobacco RoadCause it's warmThe only life I've ever knownOnly you know how I loveYou know how I loveTobacco RoadI'm gonna leaveAnd get a jobWith a help from my momAnd a grace from aboveSave some money, get rich and allBring it back to Tobacco RoadBring dynamiteAnd a craneBlow it up, start all over againBuild a town, be right ashoreAnd get the name Tobacco RoadCause it's warmThe only life I've ever knownI despise you cause you're still thereBut I love you cause you're homeguitar solo
