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

I'm gonna get me some dynamite And I'll bring me a crane And then blow it up I'll tear down and start out all over again
Tobacco Road, Tobacco Road And I love you, yeah Because you're my home But you're dirty and you're filthy Tobacco Road
I'm gonna blow you up I'm gonna tear you down And I'll build me a town That I will be proud to show
But I'll keep the name I'm gonna keep the name I'm gonna keep the name A Tobacco Road, a Tobacco Road
Tobacco Road, road, road, road I'm talkin' 'bout Tobacco Road, road, oh yeah
