Tobacco Road (Rerecorded) Lyrics
Tobacco Road - Nashville Teens
Written by:John Loudermilk
I was born in a trunk
Mama died and my daddy got drunk
Left me here to die alone
In the middle of tobacco road
Growin' up 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 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 that dynamite and a crane
Blow it up start all over again
Build a town be proud to show
Gives the name tobacco road
But it's home the only life I ever known
I despise because you're filthy
But I love you cause you're home
