Dan Seals Tobacco Road song lyrics

I was born in a dump

Mama died and my daddy got drunk

Left me here to die or grow

In the middle of Tobacco Road

But it's home the only life I've ever known

But the Lord knows how I loathe it so

Tobacco Road

I'm gonna leave and get me a job

With the help and the grace from up above

Make some money get rich I know

And bring it back to Tobacco Road

Cause you're home the only life I've ever known

But the Lord knows how I loathe it so

Tobacco Road

I bring dynamite and a crane

I blow it up and start all over again

I build a town be proud to show

Keep the name of Tobacco Road

Cause you're home the only life I've ever known...

Tobacco Road Tobacco Road
