Loudermilk |
|
I was born in a dump |
|
Mama died and my daddy got drunk |
|
He left me there to die or grow |
|
In this place called Tobacco Road |
|
I grew up in a rusty shack |
|
All I own was hangin' on my back |
|
Lord knows how I loathe |
|
This place called Tobacco Road |
|
But it's home, yeah |
|
The only life that I've ever known |
|
I used to livin' that way, baby, and it's price of you |
|
But I Love you 'cause you're my own |
|
I'm gonna leave get a job |
|
With the help and grace from above |
|
Save my money get rich I know |
|
In this place called Tobacco Road |
|
Bring Dynamite and a crane |
|
Blow it up and start all over again |
|
Build a town I'll be proud to show |
|
And keep the name of Tobacco Road |
|
But it's home |
|
The only life that I've ever known |
|
I used to livin' that way, and it's price of you |
|
But I Love you 'cause you're my own |
|
Tobacco Road, Tobacco Road, Tobacco Road |
