  • Al from HoustonI LOVED this song when I was growing up in Beaumont, TX in the 70s. I remember singing with my brothers and friends some of those lines - 'you nasty boy' and 'whipping your behind'..we were in a neighborhood with other kids our ages and went out to play every day and got into some trouble..Stevie nailed it describing a lot in our lives growing up. Those were the days..and still love this song.
