Tobacco Road lyrics

Song information

Artist: David Lee Roth
Album: Eat 'em & Smile

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 rusty shack
All I had was hangin' on my back
Only you know how I loathe
This place called tobacco road

But it's home, the only life I ever known
Only you know how I loathe tobacco road

Gonna leave, get a job
With the help and the grace from above
Save some money, get rich and old
Bring it back to tobacco road

But it's home, the only life I ever known
Only you know how I loathe tobacco road

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