"I'm Shakin'" - by The Blasters, This 1982 song reminds me of my sweet dating years in the 80's with my then boyfriend turned hubbie Steve. It was like our theme song.

Sample some lyrics, "I've crossed an ocean for a heart of gold. Keep me searching for a heart of gold." It's a long way to go for a heart of gold. It's worth it though.
