elope to WV to get married. We blasted this 8 track down to WV, I will always remember the Green VW with the windows open and singing this song. Funny how music can bring back memories. Life sometimes doesn't fit the song lyrics. When we got from Pittsburgh to Wheeling. we decided to wait. Glad I did as he was just as abusive as my family.
