Rodney Crowell - Tobacco Road lyrics

I was born in a trunk Mama died and my 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 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 help and grace from above Save my money, grow rich and old And bring it back to Tobacco Road Bring dynamite and a crane Blow it up and start all over again And build a town we'd be proud to show And give the name of Tobacco Road But it's home The only life I've ever known Only you know how I loathe Tobacco Road I was born in a trunk My mama died and my daddy got drunk Left me here to die or grow In the middle of Tobacco Road But it's home The only life I've ever known Only you know how I loathe Tobacco Road
