I was born in a bunk
Mamma died and my daddy got drunk
Left me here to die or grow
In the middle of Tobacco Road

Grew up in a dusty shack
And all I had was a'hangin' on my back
Only you know how I loathe
This place called Tobacco Road

But it's home, the only life I've ever known.
Only you know how I loathe
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.

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

'Cause it's home
The only life I've ever known
I despise and disapprove you
But I love ya,
'cause you're home
