lou rawls - southside blues - tobacco road lyrics
’cause i was born in a dump
my mama died and my daddy got drunk
he left me here to die or grow
in the middle of tobacco road
i grew up in a rusty shack
all i owned was hangin’ on my back
the lord knows, how i loathe
this place called, tobacco road
but it’s a home, yeah
the only life i’ll ever know
and the lord knows, i loathe
tobacco road, yeah
i’m gonna leave and get a job
with the help and the grace from above
save my money and get rich i know
and bring it back to tobacco road
bring dynamite and a crane
blow it up and start all over again
and i’ll build a town, i’ll be proud to show
and keep the name, tobacco road
’cause it’s a home, yeah, yeah
the only life i’ll ever know
and despise you called you filthy but i love it
but i love you because you’re my home
hey, tobacco road, tobacco road
now you’re dirty and you’re filthy
tobacco road
i’m gonna get me some dynamite
and i’ll bring me a crane
and then blow it up
i’ll tear down and start out all over again
tobacco road, tobacco road
and i love you, yeah
because you’re my home
but you’re dirty and you’re filthy
tobacco road
i’m gonna blow you up
i’m gonna tear you down
and i’ll build me a town
that i will be proud to show
but i’ll keep the name
i’m gonna keep the name
i’m gonna keep the name
a tobacco road, a tobacco road
tobacco road, road, road, road
i’m talkin’ ’bout
tobacco road, road, oh yeah
