I was born in a dump
Mama died and my daddy got drunk
Left me here to die or grow
In the middle of Tobacoo Road

Growin' up rusty shack all I had was hanging on my back
Only you know how I loathe
This place called Tobacco Road

But it's home
Ah! Heh! The only life that I've ever know

Only you know how I love Tobacco Road

Gonna leave get a job with the help and the grace from above
Save some money get rich, I know bring it back to Tobacco Road

But it's home, the only life that I've ever know

Only you know how I love
Huh! Tobacco Road
Wa! Let's give it out

Ah! Bring that dynamite and a crane blow it up start all over again
Build a town be proud to show
In the name
Tobacco Road
