@@adamdiazjr9526 Well, I'm glad you heard it now. Yah, I remember driving down to Texas to see relatives. I was five; it was the '70's. My dad was driving the van, mom was in the passenger seat. I stood the whole way, standing between those front seats..eating lemon drops and red licorice..digging the Rusty blowing through those big speakers. The '70's.. Good memory. Take care, Adam Diaz Jr. (Tell me some of your music if you get the chance. I'd like to hear it. Thanks.)
@adamdiazjr9526
This sounds like it should’ve been included on the Urban Cowboy soundtrack-such a feel good song!
