Grew up in   a rusty shack

Gonna leave  get a job
With the help and the grace from above
Save some money get rich I know
Bring it back to Tobacco Road wo wo wo
Bring dynamite and a crane
Blow it up start all over again
Build a town be proud to show
Give the name Tobacco Road
But It`s home the only life I`ve known
I despise you because you`re filthy
But I love you because you`re home
