Tobacco Road (2006 Remaster)

Tobacco Road (2006 Remaster) - Lou Rawls

I was born in a bunk

Mama died and my daddy got drunk

He'll left me here to die or grow

In the middle of Tobacco Road

I grew up in a dusty shack

All I owned was a hangin' on my back

All knows

How I loathe

This place called Tobacco Road

But it's home

The only life I've ever known

But the Lord knows I loathe

Tobacco Road

I'm gonna leave and get a job

With the help and the grace from God

Save my money get rich I know

Bring it back to Tobacco Road

Bring dynamite and a crane

Blow it up start all over again

I'll build a town be proud to show

Give the name Tobacco Road

Cause it's home

The only life I've ever known

I despise you 'cos your filthy

But I love you 'cause you're home

Tobacco Road

Tobacco Road

You're dirty

Your beauty

Tobacco Road

I'm going get me some buyer mines

And bring me a cream

Pull it up

Turn down

Start all over again

Tobacco Road

Tobacco Road

I love you beacuse you're home

I didn't fell the

Tobacco Road

I'm gonna blow you up

Turn you down

Give me a present
