"We Rode in Trucks"

It's funny how much hearing a song can bring up thought about people, a special place, a certain time in our lives, or sometimes trips that we would take.
There are so many songs that when I hear them, I either think about Matt or our relationship.
They're usually really sweet love songs, like "History in the Making" by Darius Rucker,
sometimes they're fun songs like "We Weren't Crazy" by Josh Gracin,
other times they're just plain fun songs like "Eight Second Ride" by Jake Owen,
and a few are kinda sexy songs like "I Get Off" by Halestorm.
Usually they're country songs (it's just so us),
but sometimes they aren't.
There are songs that I associate with other things too.
Lilo and Stitch soundtrack and Bette Middler reminds me of camping with the Schmidts,
Kenny Chesney's No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems reminds me of trips to San Francisco,
"Hey Delilah" and "Bodies" reminds me of my little sister.
There are songs that I've laughed to, that anytime I hear them, I can remember that exact moment and sometimes I smile, sometimes I giggle remembering the good times.
There are songs I cried to that any time I hear that song it brings those memories and usually a few tears flooding back into my life.
There are ones that bring back memories of fighting and anger, and ones of consoling friends after they got into a fight or had their hearts broken.
So many songs make such a huge impression on our lives.
Are there any songs that do that for you?
