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
