Tobacco Road (Remastered)

I was born in a trunk

Mama died and my daddy got drunk

Let me hear two dying crows

In the middle of tobacco road

Grew up in a rusty shack

All I owned was hanging on my back

Only lord knows how I loved tobacco road

But it's hard, hard the only life I've ever known

But the lord knows how I loved

Tobacco road

Gonna leave, get a job

With the help of the tree some God

Save my money, get rich enough

Bring it back to tobacco road

Bring dynamite and a crane

Blow it up and start all over again

Build a town be proud to show

Give the name tobacco road

'Cause it's hard, hard the only life I've ever known

I despise you 'cause you're filthy

But I love you 'cause you're home

Bring dynamite and a crane

Blow it up start all over again

Build a town be proud to know

This place called tobacco road

'Cause it's hard, hard the only life I've ever known

But the lord knows how I love

Tobacco road
