Tobacco Road Songtext
von Hank Williams, Jr.

I was born in a dump
Mama died and daddy got drunk
Left me here to die or grow
In the middle of Tobacco Road

Grew up in a rusty shack
All I had was hangin′ on my back
Only you know, how I loathe
This place called Tobacco Road

But it's my home,
The only life I′ve ever known
Lord knows I love you so
Tobacco Road


Gonna leave, get me a job
With some help and the grace of God
Make some money, which I know
And bring it back to Tobacco Road

'Cause it's home
The only life I′ve ever known
Lord knows I love you so, Tobacco Road

Bring dynamite, and a big crane
Blow it all up, start over again
Build a town, I′d be proud to show
Name that sucker, Tobacco Road

'Cause it′s my home
The only life I've ever known
Lord knows I love you so, Tobacco Road

Tobacco Road
Swampy, foggy, smokey place
You need a voodoo guide
