Tobacco RoadMy family has farmed this land For damn near a hundred years We made these rocky fields fertile With lots of blood, sweat and tears Now you tell me we have to leave Because the bank forclosed our loan That some paper gives you the right To take the only thing we own Chorus: The school books say cotton was king But we both know that is a joke The only king there's ever been Is the one that grows on Tobacco Road We always planted tobacco Cause the government told us to Now they pulled all the subsidies And filed a bunch of lawsuits Now we have these tobacco wars Fought by some lawyers on TV They aren't hurting R.J. Reynolds But they're killing farmers like me Chorus: The school books say cotton was king But we both know that is a joke The only king there's ever been Is the one that grows on Tobacco Road Copyright Kent Newsome and Bob Clay All Rights Reserved |
