Had this song crack the top 40, Seals would've technically been a one hit wonder.

This is the sort of pop oriented Country music my Dad used to listen to when I was a kid. Hard to hear this and not think about riding in his truck and smelling his Old Spice aftershave

I remember when I first heard this song in the 1st grade , back in 1985 : on 104.3 WBBQ , in North Augusta , SC , back when it was a Top 40 station ! Now , since 1994 , it's been an adult contemporary station : part of the corporate giant I Heart / ❤️ Radio conglomerate : UGH ( CORPORATE PLAYLISTS NO THANKS 👎 ) ! That was it ! Since that day , it stuck ! Yes , this Gen Xer misses the '80's !
