Tobacco Road Songtext

von Edgar Winter

I was born in a trunk
Mama died and my daddy got drunk
Let me hear two dying crows
In the middle of tobacco road

Grew up in a rusty shack
All i owned was hanging on my back
Only lord knows how i loved tobacco road

But it's hard, hard the only life i've ever known
But the lord knows how i loved
Tobacco road

Gonna leave, get a job
With the help of the treesome god
Save my money, get rich enough
Bring it back to tobacco road

Bring dynamite and a crane
Blow it up and start all over again
Build a town be proud to show
Give the name tobacco road

Cause it's hard, hard the only life i've ever known
I despise you cause you're filthy
But i love you cause you're home

Solo

Bring dynamite and a crane
Blow it up start all over again
Build a town be proud to know
This place called tobacco road

Cause it's hard, hard the only life i've ever known
But the lord knows how i love
Tobacco road
