Lyrics
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
