I was born in a trunk
Mama died and daddy got drunk
Let me hear two dying crows
In the middle of tobacco road
Grew up in a rusty shack
All I have was hanging on my back
Only you knows how I loved
This place called tobacco road
But it's hard, the only life I've ever known
Only you knows how I loved.
.Tobacco road
Gonna leave, get a job
With the help of the tree some God
Save my money, get rich enough
Bring it back to tobacco road
But it's hard, the only night I've ever known
Only you knows how I loved.
.Tobacco road
.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
But it's hard, the only night I've ever known
Only you knows how I loved.
