Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers performing “Going Back to Philly” in Wildwood, NJ. Early 90’s…


Well, rubber on the highway, smoke in the air
We went rolling out of Philly heading anywhere
Played our first gig in a one-room shack
Raised a whole lot of hell, said we’re coming back
played Austin, Detroit, New Orleans, San Francisco, Baltimore
and points in between
But there’s one place feels like heaven above
better known as the city of brotherly love

I’m goin’ back to Philly - lord, it’s been a long long time
Goin’ back to Philly
Driver, move me down the line
Goin’ back to Philly to see that little woman of mine

Well, Silver Eagle leveled off at 65
eatin’ Waffle House cookin’ just to stay alive
from Boston, Massachusetts down to Alabam-
Oklahoma City down to Texarkan-
Up and down and round and round she go
where the bus gonna stop
Ain’t nobody knows
I been a lot of places and they all look fine
But it ain’t nothin’ like that hometown city of mine

Goin’ back to Philly - lord, it’s been a long long time
Goin’ back to Philly, driver, move me down the line
Goin’ back to Philly to see that little woman of mine

We played little black clubs where no one goes
hockey rinks and late night tv shows
flew a big jet plane all the way to Japan
took a European bus across the promise land
played London, Stockholm, Amsterdam,
Tokyo, Osaka and Yokoham-

But when they brought that thing back to the USA
We ‘bout to get it on and here’s what I say

Goin’ back to Philly, lord, it’s been a long long time
Goin’ back to Philly, driver, move me down the line
Goin’ back to Philly to see that little woman of mine

Tommy Conwell (guitar)
Chaz Molins (bass)

A review of Tommy Conwell's Young Rumblers' first gig from University of Delaware's student newspaper.  

"(Chaz) Molins returned to the stage to play bass in the evening’s second set, the debut performance of the Young... Rumblers. With Mike Walls on drums and Tommy Conwell on guitar and vocals, the Rumblers played about 45 minutes of cover tunes and originals in a style Conwell called “wild white-boy blues.” Though there was little variety throughout the set, the dancers responded enthusiastically to the steady rock rhythm, simple bass line and heavy distorted guitar. Conwell’s voice has a George Thorogood rasp that is well suited to his music, which Glare called “cool rockabilly/rock and roll blues.” Conwell shares with several other rockers a penchant for over-the-head and behind-the-back guitar playing.
