Tobacco Road

TOBACCO ROAD

The Nashville Teens

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.

Grow up in 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.

Interlude

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

and it's lost...

But I lost it's your home
