C                   A#
I was born in a bunk
C        A#       C             A#
Mama died and my daddy got drunk
C           A# C          A# C
Left me here to die or grow
                            A#
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

Chorus:
          F
But it's home
                          C
The only life I've ever known
                     F
Only you know how I loathe
         C  G# C
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

Bring dynamite and a crane
Blow itup, start all over again
Build a town, be proud to show
Give the name Tobacco Road

Chorus:
Cause it's home
The only life I've ever known
I despise you 'cos your filthy
But I love ya, 'cause it's home
