Tobacco Road - Edgar Winter

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 its hard, hard the only life ive ever known

but the lord knows how i loved

tobacco road

gonna leave, get a job

with the help of the treesome 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 its hard, hard the only life ive ever known

i dispise you cause youre filthy

but i love you cause youre 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 its hard, hard the only life ive ever known

but the lord knows how i love

tobacco road
