Travel down South,

Travel in Parents' car,

Turning down windy roads,

Talking Heads,

The song by Steve Winwood "The Finer Things,"

The song by Whitney Houston "So Emotional,"

Texaco,

The hair bands Poison and Warrant,

The Ford LTD Crown Victoria,

The Ford Tempo,

The Ford Escort,

The Ford Thunderbird,

The sweater dresses,

The leggings with skirts,

The exercise leggings with leg warmers,

The puffy hairdos,

The many days spent in elementary school,

The Subarus,

The Hondas,

The Datsuns,

The Nissans,

The Show American Bandstand,

The Show Soul Train,

The show 227,

The show Amen,

The show Dallas,

The gasoline being cheap,

The song "Electric Avenue" by Eddy Grant,

The idyllic childhood I had.
