The Nashville Teens Tobacco Road

I was born in a bunk.
Mama died and my daddy got drunk.
Left me here to die alone
In the middle of Tobacco Road.

Grew up in 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've 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.


Bring dynamite and a crane,
blow it up, start all over again.
Build a town, be proud to show.
Give the name Tobacco Road.

But it's home, the only life I ever known.
I despise you 'cause you're filthy
But I love ya, 'cause you're home.
