Tobacco Road (Live)
I was born in a big old bunk
My mama died and my daddy got so drunk
Left me here to die and to grow
In the middle of Tobacco Road
I grew up in a dusty ol' shack
All I owned was a hangin' on my back
Lord knows just how much I loathe
This place called Tobacco Road
'Cause it's a home, yeah
The only life I've ever known, yeah, yeah
Lord knows I loathe
Tobacco Road
I'm gonna even get me a brand new job
With the help and the grace of God
And I'll save all my money, get very, very rich that I know
And bring it back to Tobacco Road
Bring dynamite, hell, a big ol' crane
Blow you up, tear it down, start all over again
Build me a town, be very, very proud to show
And keep the name of Tobacco Road
'Cause it's home
The only life I've ever known, yeah, yeah
And the Lord knows I loathe
Tobacco Road, yeah
I'm gonna even get me a brand new job
With the help and the grace of God
Save all my money, get very, very rich I know
And bring it back to Tobacco Road
Bring dynamite, big ol' crane
Blow it up, tear it down, start all over again
Build me a town, be very, very proud to show
And keep the name of Tobacco Road
'Cause it's home
The only life I've ever known, yeah, yeah
And the Lord knows I loathe
Tobacco Road, yeah
Tobacco Road, yeah
Tobacco Road, oh
