Tobacco Road

Spooky Tooth

I was born in a dump
Mama died and my daddy got drunk
He left me there to die or grow
In this place called Tobacco Road

I grew up in a rusty shack
All I own was hangin' on my back
Lord knows how I loathe
This place called Tobacco Road

But it's home, yeah
The only life that I've ever known
I used to livin' that way, baby, and it's price of you
But I Love you 'cause you're my own

I'm gonna leave get a job
With the help and grace from above
Save my money get rich I know
In this place called Tobacco Road

Bring Dynamite and a crane
Blow it up and start all over again
Build a town I'll be proud to show
And keep the name of Tobacco Road

But it's home
The only life that I've ever known
I used to livin' that way, and it's price of you
But I Love you 'cause you're my own
