Standard (EADGBE)
I WAS BORN IN A DUMP
MAMA DIED AND DADDY GOT DRUNK
LEFT ME HERE TO GROW OR DIE
IN THE MIDDLE OF TOBACCO ROAD
GREW UP IN A RUSTY SHACK
ALL I OWN WAS A HANGIN ON MY BACK
THE LORD KNOWS HOW I LOATH
THIS PLACE CALLED TOBACCO ROAD
BUT IT'S A HOME THE ONLY LIFE I'VE EVER KNOWN
BUT THE LORD KNOWS HOW I LOATH TOBACCO ROAD
GONNA LEAVE GET A JOB
WITH THE HELP AND THE GRACE OF GOD
SAVE MY MONEY GET RICH I KNOW
BRING IT BACK TO TOBACCCO 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 EVER KNOWN
I DESPISE YOU CAUSE YOUR FILTHY
BUT I LOVES YOU CAUSE YOUR HOME TOBACCO ROAD
