[00:13.30]I was born in a trunk.
[00:16.61]Mama died and my daddy got drunk.
[00:19.43]
[00:20.04]Left me here to die alone
[00:22.74]
[00:23.49]In the middle of Tobacco Road.
[00:28.80]
[00:29.92]Growin' up rusty shack,
[00:32.29]
[00:33.17]All I had was hangin' on my back.
[00:35.85]
[00:36.71]Only you know how I loathe
[00:39.50]
[00:40.07]This place called Tobacco Road.
[00:44.54]
[00:45.35]But it's home, the only life I ever known.
[00:51.84]
[00:53.91]Only you know how I loathe Tobacco Road.
[01:01.71]
[01:05.45]Gonna leave, get a job
[01:07.88]
[01:08.69]With the help and the grace from above.
[01:12.07]Save some money, get rich and old,
[01:14.88]
[01:15.58]Bring it back to Tobacco Road.
[01:19.54]
[01:20.96]But it's home, the only life I ever known.
[01:27.70]
[01:29.65]Only you know how I loathe Tobacco Road.
[01:37.68]
[02:08.40]Bring that dynamite and a crane,
[02:11.77]Blow it up, start all over again.
[02:15.29]Build a town, be proud to show.
[02:18.85]Gives the name Tobacco Road.
