[07:59.00]Tobacco Road (Live) - Lou Rawls
[07:59.00]
[07:59.00]'Cause I was born in a dump
[07:59.00]My mama died and my daddy got drunk
[07:59.00]He left me here to die or grow
[07:59.00]In the middle of Tobacco Road
[07:59.00]I grew up in a rusty shack
[07:59.00]All I owned was hangin' on my back
[07:59.00]The Lord knows, how I loathe
[07:59.00]This place called, Tobacco Road
[07:59.00]But it's a home, yeah
[07:59.00]The only life I'll ever know
[07:59.00]And the Lord knows, I loathe
[07:59.00]Tobacco Road, yeah
[07:59.00]I'm gonna leave and get a job
[07:59.00]With the help and the grace from above
[07:59.00]Save my money and get rich I know
[07:59.00]And bring it back to Tobacco Road
[07:59.00]Bring dynamite and a crane
[07:59.00]Blow it up and start all over again
[07:59.00]And I'll build a town, I'll be proud to show
[07:59.00]And keep the name, Tobacco Road
