Tobacco Road (originally by John D. Loudermilk) – Bobbie GentryBy I was born in a bunkMother died and my daddy got drunkLeft me here to die or growIn the middle of Tobacco RoadGrew up in a dusty shackAnd all I had was a’hangin’ on my backOnly you know how I loatheThis place called Tobacco RoadBut it’s homeThe only life I’ve ever knownOnly you know how I loatheTobacco RoadI’m gonna leave and get a jobWith the help and the grace from aboveSave some money, get rich I knowBring it back to Tobacco RoadBring Dynamite and a craneBlow you up, start all over againBuild a town be proud to showGive the name Tobacco Road‘Cause it’s homeThe only life I’ve ever knownOh, I despise and disapprove youBut I love ya, ’cause it’s home www.pillowlyrics.com419786497975 88k 20
