[Cm]
[C] [F]
I was born in a lung, mama died and daddy got drunk
Left me here to die or grow, [C] in [G] the middle of tobacco road
[C#] Grew up in [C] a rusty shack, all I owned was a hanging on my back
Only lord knows how I love this place called tobacco road
But [F] it's home, the only [Dm] life I [C] ever know, but the lord knows I love [Dm] [F]
[F#] tobacco [Cm] road
[F] [B] [D#] [A#m] [C]
Gonna leave, get a job, with the help and the grace of god
Take my money gang, rest you know, bring it back to tobacco road
Bring dynamite and a crane, blow it up and start all over again
Build a town, proud to show, keep the name [Fm]
cause it's home
The
[Dm] only life I ever [Am]
know, I despise you cause [G] you're filthy
[Dm] But I love you cause [C] you're home
[Am] [A#] [C] [F#]
[Cm] [F] [Cm] [C]
