This version comes from a hard to find 1993 release "Different World" Personally I consider it superior to the original slow paced, soft version or Eric Burdon's babbling;)

Lyrics

I was born in a dump My mama died, 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 a'hangin' on my back
The Lord knows how I love This place called Tobacco Road
But it's home, it's really my home The only life I've ever known
For the Lord, the Lord knows I love Tobacco Road

I'm gonna leave and get a job With the help and the grace of God
I'll save my money, get rich I know Bring it back to Tobacco Road
I gonna get me some dynamite Gonna bring me a crane
Got to blow you up, got to tear you down And start all over again
But I'll build a town, I'll be proud to show Keep the name of Tobacco Road
'Cause it's home The only life I've ever known I despise because you're filthy
But I love you, 'cause you're my home

Tobacco Road Tobacco Road You're dirty and filthy Tobacco Road
Gonna get me some dynamite Gonna bring me a crane
Got to blow you up, got to tear you down And start all over again Tobacco Road Tobacco Road
I despise, I despise you 'cause you're filthy But I love you, because you're my home Tobacco Road, Road Talkin' 'bout a dirty, low down, filthy place Tobacco Road, yeah
You're so dirty and filthy
