lyrics

As a child I was in the back seat
Fighting with my family about what to eat
Heading out of Greensboro I-40 East
I was pushing for Bojangles they wanted Wendy’s
No bathroom breaks I can’t stop now
Son I been working all week just to hear the sound
Of the tires thumping on that old swing bridge
First one to spot it gets fifty cents
No luck no wave so I went fishing
Threw out a cast net pulled in some mud minnows
Tried to hook a flounder or a big ol’ drum
Caught twenty pin fish and headed back home

Now I’m older and much has changed
But the memories of those days they stay the same
I miss the tires thumping on that old swing bridge
And sandy bare feet at the Godwin’s Market
I still roll down the window for the tell tale smell
And to feel the marsh water flying heavy in the air
There’s no more tires thumping on that old swing bridge
But roller skating Doris is still on the south end
And I never got paid that fifty cents
