First I'd like to say that I can't believe they play this at Walgreens drug stores. I know I'm going out on a limb, this song is about a guy dating a MUCH younger girl. He says she doesn't know any of the stuff he knows from his growing up. They have nothing in common and with that the only thing they can really do is drink hard liquor, do cocaine, and ...what comes after tequila and coke? Great song, slightly disturbing subject.
You're lucky -- my Walgreen's plays instrumental elevator music. I think this song is hilarious and I would sing along loudly if it came on when I was in a store.

@Brokenflow IMO,Cuervo Gold is tequila and the fine Columbian is pot. It's about a guy who's being seduced by a much younger girl. Since he was the dandy of Gamma Chi back in 1967 he's a little over forty I'd guess due to when this album was released. She roller skates and he likes it when she gets low on her skates, possibly by spreading her legs wide. As much as she turns him on he has to deny her advances.

@Brokenflow Slightly disturbing? Maybe although 19 is legal of course. Thankfully the song is not "Hey 13" ???? And anyway what seems creepy now was less of an issue in 1980 it seems but still weird enough for the guy to self reflect on it. Doesnt stop him though...

Compared to many of the songs from this era, I’d say this is pretty mild. The song was originally recorded in 1978, just 11 years after “way back in ‘67”, which he was likely in his early 20’s., if this is a true story That would imply he’s in his early 30’s at the time, and her being 19, is not unrealistic. Still, there’s a good separation in age, and he realizes it, hence the words “no, we can’t dance together, no, we can’t talk at all”. In sayin “ please take me along when you slide on down”, is him saying, when you get a little older, perhaps more mature, and we have more in common. It’s a very well composed and catchy song, obviously a hit, and probably why they play it at Walgreens. Just my thoughts.

Played daily at your neighborhood Walgreens.

@Brokenflow I worked for Toys R Us in the early 90's. Not only did they play this song, they played T Tubuler Bells, which is the Exorcist theme song.

Actually, I thought this is the LEAST cryptic S.D. song.
