Thank you for featuring this song. At first I thought the song would be new to me, but as soon as I heard the opening chords, I was taken back to my university days.

Right? It was always there but never made a big deal about, which is why I think it endures. It's perfect background music.

What a great song! I haven’t heard this song in ages, but it’s definitely a hit, and the band knew it too! Thanks, MK!

I was only 3 when it was released, but I always loved it in recurrent rotation on the stations my folks listened to. Years later, my mom told me that I loved that song when it was new, and was one of the first songs I would sing along to in the car.

Always makes me smile to think about that, so I appreciate the reminder of this terrific pop song!

Such a fantastic song, it’s one of my favorite America songs,thanks for sharing! Years ago I heard a live version of ‘The Border’ which is also right up there with my favorite America tracks, so much better than the studio version: https://youtu.be/0IOaV87vYhc

So karaoke was a mixed bag. I spent a bunch of time leaning the verses but still forgot how the second one went. I did get chills in practice though, which is a good barometer of songs for me so I will work on it some more.
