A childhood belief about misheard lyrics

From time to time I find myself humming or singing a tune from the Roches I heard thirty years ago. I've searched high and low for this song only remembering the lyrics "If I take you to heaven, will you ever come down". I have searched the Roches discography, I've plugged lyric searches into search engines, I even asked various forums over years. But I've never found the song. I'd resigned myself to thinking the song was on some one-off collection I'd never find.

So today I popped in a Roches greatest hits collection I just purchased to hear a song I do know, and out comes THE tune I've been losing brain cells over for all these years. Except they're singing "If you go down to Hammond, will you ever come back".

I think the Roches are laughing at me right now.
