Shocking Blue - Tobacco Road lyrics

rate me

I was born in a dump

Mama died and daddy got drunk

Left me here to die or grow

In a 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 home the only life I've ever know

Only you know how I loathe

Tobacco Road

Gonna leave get a job

With the help and the graze from above

Save same money get rich I know

Bring it back to Tobacco Road

Bring dynamite and a crane

Blow it up start all over again

Build to a town be proud to show

Give the name Tobacco Road
