(words & music by margaret a roche)
If you go down to hammond
Youll never come back
In my opinion youre
On the wrong track
Well always love you but
Thats not the point
If you go with that fella
Forget about us
As far as Im concerned
That would be just
Throwing yourself away
Not even trying
Come on youre lying to me
Well I went down to hammond
I did as I pleased
I aint the only one
Whos got this disease
Why dont you face the fact
You old upstart
We fall apart
Youd be okay if youd
Just stay in school
Dont be a fool
Do your eyes have an answer
To this song of mine
They say we meet again
On down the line
Where is on down the line
How far away?
Tell me Im okay
If you go down to hammond
Youll never come back
