Rockingham

Won't you take me back to where I'm from Where the air's as thick as tobacco gum? Where I was born, where I was raised On broken promises and glory days It's the town where I became a man It's the place that made me who I am Right there on the river dam Rockingham, Rockingham I worked a forty-hour week selling auto parts Nobody ever told me it would be this hard To raise a wife and two kids on an honest wage Twenty-eight years old, feelin' twice my age It's the town where I became a man It's the place that made me who I am Right there on the river dam Rockingham, Rockingham I never thought that I'd end up here So much of the world to see But just like people, my plans began to change And this town became the only place for me This town became the only place for me So won't you take me back to where I'm from Where the air's as thick as tobacco gum? Where I was born, where I was raised On broken promises and glory days
