Richie Kotzen-Tobacco Road
I was born in a dump,
My mama died and my daddy got drunk,
They left me here to die or grow
In the middle of tobacco road
I grew up in a rusty shack,
All i own i'll wear on my back,
Oh, good lord knows how i loathe
This place i called tobacco road
And it's hard,
But it's only way i've ever known i could live
I despise you cause you're filthy,
I love you cause you're home, tobacco road
I'm gonna leave and get a job,
With the help and the grace from god,
I'm gonna save all my money and get rich one day
And bring it back to tobacco road
And it's hard, baby
But it's the only way i've ever known i could live,
I despise you cause you're filthy
I love you cause you're home, tobacco road
Bring all dynamite and i'll bring old crane,
I'm gonna blow it up and tear it down and start it all over again,
I will build me a town, so then i could be proud,
I think i'll keep the name tobacco road
Oh, but it's hard
There's an only way i've ever known i could live, baby
I despise you cause you're filthy,
I love you cause you're home, tobacco road
