Tobacco Road

Tobacco Road - Bobbie Gentry

I was born in a dump

Mama died my

Daddy got drunk

Left me here

To die or grow

In the middle of tobacco road

Grew up in

A rusty shack

And all I owned was hanging

On my back

Oh lord you knows how I loathe

This place called

Tobacco road

But it's home

The only life I'll ever know

Oh only you knows how I loathe

Tobacco road

Gonna leave

And get a job

With the help

And the grace from god

Save the money

Get rich know

Bring it back to tobacco road

Bring dynamite

At the crane

Blow you up

Start all over again

Rebuild the town

Be proud to show

Give the name tobacco road

It's home

The only life

That I've ever known

Oh I despise you're filthy

Oh it's loving cause know
