What a great homage to our horny teenager years. JMC has a way with words and nostalgia in his songs that is so sweet and innocent. Makes you long for those days again when you listen to his music. This has always been my favorite song by him. Idk why it never was popular or mainstream. This hits so much more for me than Jack and Diane.

mary carter I'm not knucklehead02, but I'm guessing he might feel that way just because some of JCM's hit songs are played a lot (i.e, Small Town, Jack and Diane) and might've lost some of their charm? I like almost all his music myself, Hurts So Good is still my fave.

As soon as I left thew office I pulled it up and have been playing it since I left. My late husband bought me all his albums/cd's when he found out how much I love his music. Now it's time to go onto pandora. Who would have ever thought 80's music would become office background music? So grateful for the reminder.

This song makes me want to be a teenager in the 80’s, sitting in a Firebird in a field, on a first date with your best friend. You both knew you’ve liked each other since the beginning of your friendship, but this song will give you the courage to make that next move.

Seven years ago tonight my husband died after a terrible fight with cancer. Left his house one night and my purse was on top of my car hood and and I only realized it when I got home.
