Tobacco Road Songtext
von Johnny & Edgar Winter

Uuummmmm...
Oh oh. .oh oh oh oh oh ooo oh ooo ooo oh oh oh...

I was born
In a dump
My mammy 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
Well all I owned
Was a-hanging on my back
Lord knows
How I loathe
This place called Tobacco Road


I′ll miss ya, Homey
Talking 'bout the only life I′ve ever known
I despise you
Cuz you're filthy
But I love you
Cuz you're home

I′m gonna leave
And get a job
Now with the help
And the grace from God
Gonna save my money
And get rich I know
And bring it back to Tobacco Road

Bring dynamite
A big old crate
Blow it up
Tear it down
And start all over again
Gonna build me a town
That I′ll be proud to show
I think I'll keep the name of Tobacco Road


You′re such a town, oh yeah!
The only life that I've ever known
I despise you
Cuz you′re filthy
But I love you
Because you're home

Tobacco Road
Tobacco Road
Yeah, you′re dirty and you're filthy
Oh, Tobacco Road
I'm gonna get me some dynamite
A big old crate
Blow it up
Tear it down
And start all over again
I despise you
Cuz you′re filthy
But I love you
Because you′re home!

Tobacco Road
