Jamul - Tobacco Road lyrics

rate me

I was born in a dump, <br />

Mamma died and daddy got drunk, <br />

Left me here to die or grow<br />

In the middle of Tobacco Road.<br />

Wo wo wo<br />

Grew up in a rusty shack, <br />

All I owned was hangin' on my back.<br />

Only you know how I loathe<br />

This place called Tobacco Road, <br />

But it's home.<br />

The only life I've ever known<br />

Only you know how I loathe<br />

Tobacco Road<br />

<br />

Gonna leave get a job<br />

With the help and the grace from above<br />

Save my money get rich I know, <br />

Bring it back to Tobacco Road.<br />

Wo wo wo<br />

Bring dynamite and a crane, <br />

Blow it up, start all over again.<br />

Build a town, be proud to show, <br />

Give the name Tobacco Road<br />

But it's home.<br />

The only life I've ever known<br />

I despise you 'cos you're filthy, <br />

But I love you 'cos you're home.
