America - The border

[TheKarlOtti]

Mantequilla!

[eponiaTTree]

yeh and then there's that fuckin unicorn song ...

[tkelakid]

Armed Forces Network in Germany used to play this song as part of an infomercial

[lmnresearch]

I liked this song as well. I remembered that it came out in the summer of 1983.

[katherine500]

Really great song like You can do magic forgotten 80s hit that should have been

[Can00uck]

One of there best  Songs never really promoted and a great driving song with the top down or windowsn down and music and volume way up. Wish i had the opportunity to see them in concert!

[SethraLavode99]

@Can00uck I just saw them in Paducah Kentucky.  They did this song and had that goofy video from the 80's playing on the screen behind them.

[sugahface]

Some where they stopped doing what they did when they did what they used to do...

[ParadoxPerspective]

This song should be Mexico's national anthem.

[tall32guy]

@ParadoxPerspective LMAO! Good one!

[Doobie1975]

This song should have been a bigger Top 40 hit IMO, I would have liked to see this song chart in the Top 20 at the very least

[areasmith]

It reminds me a lot of Christopher Cross' "Ride Like the Wind". Good song.

[Wysthric]

@areasmith It's very similar, isn't it?

[yoonicoo]

Oh, how I missed this song...It would be better if we could watch the video as well!

[Doobie1975]

sad that this song was America's final Top 40 hit, you never hear this song anywhere except for the 80s station on Slacker Radio

[MrLogoman007]

@Doobie1975 I heard it on AT40 this morning.

[Doobie1975]

@MrLogoman007 Was it on a local FM station or SIRIUS XM Radio?

[MrLogoman007]

@Doobie1975 A local FM station. I don't think Sirius has AT40 anymore.

[DaveWollenberg]

America hit #33 in Billboard, 8-6-83. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

[MrEdgarjuan]

i almost made it to the border,but i got caught and mexico woulnt have me.

[Can00uck]

Great song great driving song !! It is a nice change form Sister Goldern hair and the other cvlassics they had ! Great Band and still the same sound !!

[crisgarver]

I really want to see the original video =(

if someone have it, please let me know

[Arthurianwarp]

@crisgarver I have the original Video - but it's on an old VHS Tape form the 1980's... it has Bette Davis Eyes on it, The Stroke, Blinded Me with Science... All of those you can find on YouTube, except this one, I wonder why?

[Eadwig]

@Arthurianwarp I think it is blocked because of copyright reasons.

[portapizze2]

@crisgarver here it is: you tube /watch?v=3y1--3bGpdo

[dbzrulesmorgan98]

[anton823]

such a great song....I was in Junior high when this came out...lol.....loved it

[ripsbroncos]

I played this song when it was brand new on the charts. It was one of my favorites the first time I heard it.

[cregbr]

@aynrandgirl - Yes they did. It was on YouTube a while ago so it must have got pulled for copyright :(

[donnydcyclops]

havent heard this in YEARS!

[MrAemandy]

Songs like this should be played on radio more often. Terrific!

[VoiajorBRAZILIA]

@MrAemandy I agree with you.....it's such a pretty good song.

[Eadwig]

Maybe they did. I don't know. It might have been banned from Youtube because of copyright.

[1958boomergirl]

@Eadwig Thank you for providing this song. I love it! I've loved it since I heard it the first time! Thank you.

[aynrandgirl]

Did they do a proper video for this song?

[jwmellott]

I've heard this song on the radio twice in the past 25 years.

Two months apart around 1999.

Both times driving up I-75 near Lima Ohio.

[meigsman59]

@jwmellott I haven't heard this on the radio ever. One of their best songs,IMO!!!

[KingCharltonHeston]

I love that song. I think it's my favorite song by [the band] America.

[medicchick17]

Love love love this song! Classic America!

[MiloSassy2010]

one of americas better songs

[JWROWE3]

One of the best of the forgotten 80's tunes...

[lineba20]

@JWROWE3 No shit.  That song is SO underrated and forgotten.

[seosamhronan]

When my family and I were travelling from PA to Ocean City Maryland one year many long years ago my 3 kids started to sing "if I could make it to the boardwalk" as we got closer and closer to OC...followed by a rendition of "Lawyers in Love". I never got the connection, but one of the boys is a lawyer now...all I hear these days is send lawyers guns and money dad get me outta this...I miss those long ago sweet times...desperately

[ttc817]

I've always loved this songs - one of their most underrated.
