Jefferson Airplane Tobacco Road Lyrics

Tobacco Road Lyrics

I was born in a bunk

Mother died and my daddy got drunk

Left me here to die or grow

In the middle of Tobacco Road



Grew up in a dusty shack

And all I had was a-hangin' on my back

Only you know how I loathe

This place called Tobacco Road



But it's home

The only life I've ever known

Only you know how I loathe

Tobacco Road



I'm gonna leave and get a job

With the help and the grace from above

Save some money, get rich I know

Bring it back to Tobacco Road



Bring dynamite and a crane

Blow you up, start all over again

Build a town be proud to show

Give the name Tobacco Road



'Cause it's home

The only life I've ever known

Oh, I despise and disapprove you

But I love ya 'cause it's home
