Guess the Fusion Rock Song Lyrics #7

*First line is the artist name. 1980. This artist was from Peoria, Illinois. He based this song on a time he was visiting his family back home and ran into an old flame at a convenience store. They really did sit and drink some beers talking and making their families wait for them. He did fictionalize some of the info. The street where this meet up occurred is now named after the artist. A couple days late, but definitely a New Years song.
