Tobacco Road
coverd by Richie Kotzen
i was born in a dump
My mamma died and my daddy got drunk
They left me here to die or grow
in the middle of Tobacco Road
i grew up in a rusty shack
All i owned i'll wear on my back
A girl i know how i loathe
This place i called Tobacco Road
And it's hard but it's the only way i've ever known i could live,
i'll despite you 'cause you're filthy i love you because your home Tobacco Road
i'm gonna leave and get a job
With the help and the grace from God
i'm gonna save all my money and get rich one day
And bring it back to Tobacco Road
And it's hard baby but it's the only way i've ever known i could live,
i'll despite you 'cause you're filthy i love you because your home Tobacco Road
Bring that dynamite and a big old crane
i'm gonna blow it up, tear it down, and start it all over again
i'm gonna build me a town, so that i can be proud
i think i keep the name Tobacco Road
Oh and it's hard but it's the only way i've ever known i could live baby,
i'll despite you 'cause you're filthy i love you because your home Tobacco Road
