John D. Loudermilk - Tobacco Road lyrics

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
