Status Quo - Tobacco Road Lyrics
(John D. Loudermilk)I was born in a bunkMama died and my daddy got drunkLeft me here to die or growIn the middle of Tobacco RoadI grew up in a dusty shackAnd all I had was a'hangin' on my backOnly you know how I loatheThis place called Tobacco RoadBut it's homeThe only life I've ever knownOnly you know how I loatheTobacco RoadI'm gonna leave and get a jobWith the help and the grace from aboveSave some money, get rich I knowBring it back to Tobacco RoadBring dynamite and a craneBlow itup, start all over againBuild a town, be proud to showGive the name Tobacco RoadCause it's homeThe only life I've ever knownI despise you 'cos your filthyBut I love ya, 'cause it's home
