I was born in a trunk.
Mama died and my daddy got drunk.
Left me here to die alone
In the middle of Tobacco Road.
Growin' up rusty shack,
All I had was hangin' on my back.
Only you know how I loathe
This place called Tobacco Road.
But it's home, the only life I ever known.
Only you know how I loathe Tobacco Road.
Gonna leave, get a job
With the help and the grace from above.
Save some money, get rich and old,
Bring it back to Tobacco Road.
But it's home, the only life I ever known.
Only you know how I loathe Tobacco Road.
Bring that dynamite and a crane,
Blow it up, start all over again.
Build a town, be proud to show.
Gives the name Tobacco Road
The Nashville Teens sono un gruppo musicale pop rock britannico, attivo tra gli anni '60 e '70. Originari di Weybridge, nel Surrey, si formarono nel 1962 e divennero noti per il loro singolo di successo "Tobacco Road", pubblicato nel 1964. Il brano raggiunse la vetta delle classifiche britanniche e contribuì a far conoscere al gruppo un vasto pubblico internazionale. Sebbene non abbiano raggiunto lo stesso livello di popolarità di altri gruppi della British Invasion, The Nashville Teens hanno lasciato un segno significativo nella storia del rock britannico. La loro musica era caratterizzata da riff chitarristici accattivanti, melodie orecchiabili e testi semplici ma efficaci.
