Shawn Colvin - Tobacco Road lyrics

I was born in a dump 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 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 the help and the grace from above Save some money, get rich and old Bring it back to Tobacco Road Bring dynamite and a crane Blow it up, start all over again Build a town, be proud to show 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 But it's home, the only life I've ever known Only you know how I loathe Tobacco Road
