[00:13.71]I was born in a bunk
[00:15.15]Mama died and my daddy got drunk
[00:17.61]Left me here to die or grow
[00:22.50]In the middle of Tobacco Road
[00:30.93]I grew up in a dusty shack
[00:34.29]And all I had was a'hangin' on my back
[00:39.78]Only you know how I loathe
[00:40.20]This place called Tobacco Road
[00:50.13]But it's home
[00:50.91]The only life I've ever known
[00:54.48]Only you know how I loathe
[01:01.08]Tobacco Road
[03:45.99]I'm gonna leave and get a job
[03:47.97]With the help and the grace from above
[03:52.23]Save some money, get rich I know
[03:55.38]Bring it back to Tobacco Road

I was born in a bunk
Mama died and my daddy got drunk
Left me here to die or grow
In the middle of Tobacco Road
I grew up in a dusty shack
And all I had was a'hangin' on my back
Only you know how I loathe
This place called Tobacco Road
But it's home
The only life I've ever known
Only you know how I loathe
Tobacco Road
I'm gonna leave and get a job
With the help and the grace from above
Save some money, get rich I know
Bring it back to Tobacco Road
