Dick Smith (Soul) – Tobacco Road Lyrics

Artist: Dick Smith (Soul)
Song: Tobacco Road

I was born in a dump
My mama died, and my daddy, he got drunk
They left me here, to die all broke
In the middle of Tobacco Road

I grew up in a rusty shack
Everything I owned was hanging on my back
Lord knows, how I love this place called Tobacco Road
Oh… gettin’ myself together

I’m talkin’ about Tobacco Road
But it’s my home, my home, yeah
The only life I’ve ever known
I despise you, ‘spise you, ’cause you’re filthy

But I love you, love you, because you’re my home
(My home) he-hе-hey
(Mhm) you’re my home, Tobacco Road
(My homе) my home, yeah

(Mhm) you’re my home, Tobacco Road
(My home) my home, yeah
(Mhm) hey, hey
(My home) yea-hey, hey

(Mhm) you’re my home, Tobacco Road…
I’m gonna leave, and get me a job
With the help and the grace of the Lord
Save my money, get rich, I know

Bring it back to Tobacco Road
Hey-hey-hey… won’t you say it, yeah
Oh, I’m gonna get some dynamite and a crane
(Blow it up and tear it down) and start all over again

Gonna build a town, give the name… (name, name)
The only life, only life I’ve even known
I’ve even known
But I despise you, despise you, ’cause you’re filthy

But I love you, love you, because you’re my home
(My home, mhm) he-he-hey…
(My home, mhm) you’re my home, yeah, yea-hey-hey…
(My home, mhm) I love you, Tobacco Road

(My home, mhm) he-hey, he-hey
(My home, mhm) he-hey, he-hey
(My home, mhm) he-hey, he-hey
(My home, mhm) he-hey, he-hey

(My home, mhm) he-hey, he-hey
(My home, mhm) well, well, well, well
(My home, mhm) Tobacco Road…
Gonna build me a town I’ll be proud to show

Mhm, Tobacco Road (Tobacco Road)
Gonna build me a town I’ll be proud to show
Gettin’ myself together (yeah)
I’m talkin’ about Tobacco Road (Tobacco Road)

Gonna build me a town I’ll be proud to show
Mhm (yeah), Tobacco Road (I’m going home)
Gonna build me a town I’ll be proud to show
Gettin’ myself together (oh yeah)

I’m talkin’ about Tobacco Road
Gettin’ myself together, I’m talkin’ about Tobacco Road
Gettin’ myself together, I’m talkin’ about Tobacco Road
My home, mhm…

My home, mhm…
My home, mhm…
My home, mhm… (Tobacco Road…)
Gonna build me a town I’ll be proud to show

Mhm, Tobacco Road (Tobacco Road)
Gonna build me a town I’ll be proud to show
Gettin’ myself together (yeah)
I’m talkin’ about Tobacco Road (Tobacco Road)

Gonna build me a town I’ll be proud to show
Mhm (yeah), Tobacco Road (I’m going home)
Gonna build me a town I’ll be proud to show
Gettin’ myself together (oh yeah)

I’m talkin’ about Tobacco Road
Gonna build me a town I’ll be proud to show

Gonna build me a town I’ll be proud to show

Gettin’ myself together (yeah)
I’m talkin’ about Tobacco Road (Tobacco Road)
Gonna build me a town I’ll be proud to show
Mhm (yeah), Tobacco Road (Tobacco Road…)
