Johnny Winte & Edgar Winter Incredible Live Performance of Tobacco Road

Music video by Johnny Winter, Edgar Winter performing Tobacco Road (Live).

So refreshing to see monster musicians just let loose. No auto tune or studio tricks here!

This video is a rare gem! Pure magic is right. Edgar just picks up whatever instrument he feels like, and rips it. Then he starts singing. And his brother ain’t no slouch either.

Lyrics:
I was born in a trunk
Mama died and my daddy got drunk
Let me hear two dying crows
In the middle of tobacco road

Grew up in a rusty shack
All I owned was hanging on my back
Only lord knows how I loved tobacco road

But it’s hard, hard the only life I’ve ever known
But the lord knows how I loved
Tobacco road

Gonna leave, get a job
With the help of the treesome god
Save my money, get rich enough
Bring it back to tobacco road

Bring dynamite and a crane
Blow it up and start all over again
Build a town be proud to show
Give the name tobacco road

‘Cause it’s hard, hard the only life I’ve ever known
I despise you cause you’re filthy
But I love you cause you’re home

Bring dynamite and a crane
Blow it up start all over again
Build a town be proud to know
This place called tobacco road

‘Cause it’s hard, hard the only life I’ve ever known
But the lord knows how I love
Tobacco road
