It's possible that it was more of a ballad than a disco song.  So if that's the case I doubt it would have been played in discos. I have some memories of places that I heard it that were not in discos but on the radio.

 

I recall there was a bit of a travelogue aspect to the song in the lyrics. 

 

Ballad, then maybe this

Not Disco, has a bit of a travelogue theme about it & was from 1979 (45 years ago)...

 

Logical Song Supertramp...

 

 

 

Edit: People often called the song "Breakfast in America" but that is album title

Will check all those out later.

Currently surrounded by Iranians so it wouldn't be prudent to listen at this time.

Yeah the year range is a guess. Could be wrong.

Maybe the song wasn't as big of a hit as I thought. 

The pot thickens.

Friends at work (half my age) asked me if 80s was fun, everone sounds so happy.... DAMN OFF COURSE IT WAS.
