Hi Guys When I was a teenager I loved this song but know I cant remember the artist or song title.The guy talks in the song about taking a ride up North.I am sure he names British towns where they will stop.Something along the lines of "maybe we will drive up to Manchester"Any ideas or am I just loosing my mind?

Was it Early, Mid or Late 80's  ?
