[00:01.98]I was born in a bunk
[00:07.41]Mama died and my daddy got drunk
[00:12.96]Left me here to die or grow
[00:19.95]In the middle of Tobacco Road
[00:26.43]I grew up in a dusty shack
[00:35.04]And all I had was a'hangin' on my back
[00:36.15]Only you know how I loathe
[00:43.74]This place called Tobacco Road
[00:50.49]But it's home
[00:56.52]The only life I've ever known
[01:07.05]Only you know how I loathe
[01:09.93]Tobacco Road
[02:01.11]I'm gonna leave and get a job
[02:06.84]With the help and the grace from above
[02:12.69]Save some money, get rich I know
[02:18.51]Bring it back to Tobacco Road
[02:26.37]Bring dynamite and a crane
[02:33.72]Blow itup, start all over again
[02:38.31]Build a town, be proud to show
[02:42.33]Give the name Tobacco Road
[02:50.85]Cause it's home
[02:56.88]The only life I've ever known
[03:04.62]I despise you 'cos your filthy
[03:09.99]But I love ya, 'cause it's home

I was born in a bunk
Mama died and my daddy got drunk
Left me here to die or grow
In the middle of Tobacco Road
I 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 itup, 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
I despise you 'cos your filthy
But I love ya, 'cause it's home
