_ _ _ I was [C] born _ in a [D] barn, _ [E] mother died and my [Am] daddy got drunk.
[D] _ Left me here to die or grow, in the middle of tobacco.
Grew _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] up _ in a dusty shack, _ [Am] all I had was a hanging on my back.
[D] _ Only you [Am] know how I know [D] _ this place called the back [Am] road. _
_ _ _ But [G] it's home, _ _ _ _ the only life [D] I've ever known.

Only you know how [G] I know the _ _ _ _ back [D] road. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I'm gonna leave and get a job with the [Am] help and the grace from [D] above.
Save some [Am] money, get rich and old, [D] bring it back to [Am] tobacco road. _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ Bring dynamite and a crane, blow it up, start all [Am] over again.
Build a [Am] town, be proud to show, [D] give the name tobacco _ _ road.
But [G] it's home, _ _ _ the only life I've ever [D] known.
_ _ _ _ Oh I _ despise the [G] blues, _ but I love it because it's [D] home.
