I was born
In a dump
Mama died and daddy got drunk
Left me here to die or grow
In the middle of "Tobacco Road"
Grew up in a rusty shack
All I had was 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 know
Only you know how I loathe
Tobacco Road!
Tobacco Road
Tobacco Road
Tobacco Road
Tobacco Road!
Tobacco Road
Tobacco Road
Tobacco Road
Gonna leave
Get a job
With the help and the graze from above
Save same money get rich, I know
Bring it back to "Tobacco Road"!
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Bring dynamite and a crane
Blow it up, start all over again
Build to a town be proud to show
Give the name "Tobacco Road"
Tobacco Road!
Tobacco Road
Tobacco Road
Tobacco Road
Tobacco Road!
Tobacco Road
