It was always a catchy tune, but Bob Seger's "Against the Wind" will almost make me tear up now that I'm older and can understand. Going from being young and full of piss and vinegar to an old man who hobbles to the bathroom in the middle of the night due to plantar fasciitis isn't for the faint of heart.

"This ain't my first rodeo,
This ain't the first time this old cowboy's been thrown,
This ain't the first I've seen this dog and pony show,
This ain't my first rodeo."

10 year old WadingFool had no idea what,
"She told me cum,
But I was already there"
meant, but damn, what a rocking song.

I understood them intellectually but now I’ve lived it. Chris Isaak “ Please” a really great driving song :
I keep listening, very quietly
You're discussing your philosophy
There's a long list of what's wrong with me
And you go on talking endlessly now
What's the problem? What's the question?
What's the answer? Where's this heading?
You keep talking, Where's it going?
If there's an answer I don't know it
Please
You're killing me
Please
You're killing me with all these questions
I've been trying to get along with you
Doesn't matter what I try to do
Once you start in
There's no stopping you now
What's the problem? What's the question?
What's the answer? Where's this heading?
You keep talking, Where's it going?
If there's an answer I don't know it
Please
You're killing me
Please
You're killing me with all these questions
You're explaining very patiently
I'm a problem, what to do with me
I keep listening, but I just don't see now

It won't stop, I won't come down
I keep stock with the tick-tock rhythm
I bump for the drop, and then I bumped up
I took the hit that I was given, then I bumped again
Then I bumped again, I said
How do I get back there
To the place where I fell asleep inside you?
How do I get myself back to the place where you said
I want somethin' else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kinda life
Baby, baby

Heart - “All I wanna do is make love to you.”
As a kid of about 8 I knew the hook, but didn’t pay attention to the rest of the lyrics. Probably because it’s a pretty shitty song overall.
Then when I got a bit older I heard the song and and actually listened to the lyrics. WTF?!! It’s a song about a woman picking up a rando hitchhiker for the SOLE purpose of getting knocked up because her husband is impotent…then wanting to never see the hitchhiker again. Unfortunately, the poor guy runs into her a few years later while she is with her child and he puts the pieces together.
Heart was good in the 70’s. They must have either not made a lot of money then, or simply blew through it quickly because their 80’s songs were terrible!
