I was born in a dump

Mammy died and my daddy got drunk

Left me hear to die or grow

In the middle of tobacco road

I grew up in a rusty shack

Well all i owned was hanging on my back

Lord knows how i loth a this place tobacco road

Cause it's hard the only life i've ever known

Lord knows how i loth a this place tobacco road

I'm gonna leave get a job

With the help of the treesome god

Gonna save my money get rich I know

Bring it back to tobacco road

Bring dynamite a big ol crane

Blow it up tear it down and start all over again

I'm gonna build a town that I'll be proud to show

I think I'll keep the name of tobacco road

Cause it's hard hard the only life i've ever known

I despise you cause you're filthy

Tobacco road
