hurricanesteve | MEMORY FROM 1988

Senior year H.S.

LOCATION: In the car , Sugar Land

TAGS: parties, high school, driving

PUBLISHED: March 19, 2008

Whenever this song comes on the radio, I am immediately taken back to 1988 driving around in my 1982 Buick Regal (dark blue, vinyl top, tinted windows, Keystone Classic mags...a real disaster of a car) with my two best buddies in high school on the way to a party in early fall.  Windows down, radio cranked.  We knew.  We KNEW.  We knew it was going to be a good, no GREAT, night out when this song started our evening.  Warm fall Texas air blowing in the car.  T-shirts, Levi's 501s, black Justin ropers. Girls in our thoughts, fake ID's in our pockets.  Mad Dog 20/20, Miller Genuine Draft.  Darkness coming.  On the dark desert highway of our minds. Did we check out? Could we ever leave? We had to leave. Had to grow up.  But I can go back when the song plays again.
