Tommy Cash - Tobacco Road Lyrics

I was born in a dump mama died and my daddy got drunk

Left me here to die or grow in the middle of Tobacco Road

Grew up in a dirty shack all I owned was a hangin' on my back

Lord knows how I loathe this place called Tobacco Road

But it's home the only life I've ever known yeah I can't help but loathe Tobacco Road

Gonna leave and get a job with the help and the grace of God

Save my money get rich I know bring it back to Tobacco Road

Bring dynamite and a crane blow it up and start all over again

Build a town be proud to show keep the name Tobacco Road

Cause it's home the only life I've ever known

I despite you cause you're filthy but I love you cause you're home
