Johnny Winter – Tobacco Road lyrics
I was born in a trunk
Mama died and my daddy got drunk
Left me here to die alone
In the middle of Tobacco Road
Growin' up, lord, in a rusty shack
And all I had was hangin' on my back
Lord knows how I loathe
This place called Tobacco Road
But it's home
The only life, life, life I've ever known
And I guess I can't help but
Loathe Tobacco
Gonna leave and get a job
With the help and the grace from above
I'll save my money, get rich and old
And I think I'll bring it all back to Tobacco Road
Bring dynamite and a big old crane
And I'll blow it up, start all over again
I'm gonna build me a town, that I'll be proud to show
And I think I'll give it the name Tobacco Road
But it's home
The only life I've ever known
I guess I can't help but love you
'Cause you're home
Tobacco Road
Tobacco Road
Woah, Tobacco Road
Bring dynamite and a big old crane
I'll blow it up, tear it down and start all over again
I guess I can't help but I love
I love you, yeah, Tobacco
I love you
Oh I love you, oh I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you 'cause you're home
I'm talkin' 'bout Tobacco Road, yeah
Tobacco Road, yeah
Mama died and my daddy got drunk
Left me here to die alone
In the middle of Tobacco Road
Growin' up, lord, in a rusty shack
And all I had was hangin' on my back
Lord knows how I loathe
This place called Tobacco Road
But it's home
The only life, life, life I've ever known
And I guess I can't help but
Loathe Tobacco
Gonna leave and get a job
With the help and the grace from above
I'll save my money, get rich and old
And I think I'll bring it all back to Tobacco Road
Bring dynamite and a big old crane
And I'll blow it up, start all over again
I'm gonna build me a town, that I'll be proud to show
And I think I'll give it the name Tobacco Road
But it's home
The only life I've ever known
I guess I can't help but love you
'Cause you're home
Tobacco Road
Tobacco Road
Woah, Tobacco Road
Bring dynamite and a big old crane
I'll blow it up, tear it down and start all over again
I guess I can't help but I love
I love you, yeah, Tobacco
I love you
Oh I love you, oh I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you 'cause you're home
I'm talkin' 'bout Tobacco Road, yeah
Tobacco Road, yeah
