Mama died and my daddy got drunk
Left me here to die alone
In the middle of Tobacco road

Growin' up, rusty shack
All I had was hangin' from my back
Only you know how Iove
This place called Tobacco road

(chorus)
But it's home
The only life I've ever known
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 and old
Bring it back to Tobacco road

(chorus)

Let's get it on
Tobacco road

Bring that dynamite and a crane
Blow it up, start all over again
Build a town be proud to show
Give the name Tobacco road
