i was born in a bunk
mama died and my daddy my daddy got drunk
he left me here to die or grow
in the middle of tobacco road
i was raised in a rusty shack
all i had was a hangin’ on my back
only lord knows how i loathe
this place called tobacco road
but it’s my home yes it is people
the only life the only life i’ve ever known yes it is
only lord knows that i loathe
my my tobacco road
get that box of dynamite people and a big ol’ crane
i’m gonna blow it up and start it up all over again
gonna build myself a town people be proud to show
keep the name tobacco road
