SONG TITLES and SONGS about DISTANCES & TRAVEL

I'll try to get this topic started with these song titles about DISTANCES/TRAVELING   ...........

 

*Travelin' Man     Ricky Nelson   which made it to #1 in 1961

 

*I Ran (So Far Away)     Flock of Seagulls

 

 

For a different approach, songs about  DISTANCES/TRAVELING...........

 

*Walk Away Renee'     The Left Banke

 

*Ferry Across The Mersey     Gerry & The Pacemakers

 

 

 

Uh, I am sorry if I led off with songs which you may have wanted to post here. How about this....wait a while and then post it....or post it now ! You see, repetition is OKAY Man Wink

 

Please understand, there's lots of freedom and latitude with this topic. Be creative....let's have plenty of laughs and plenty of wows like:  "Wow, I wish I had thought of that one!!" "Wow, that's a good one!!

I have loved Paul's rendition of "Love (Makes the World Go Round)". But it does remind me of a cynical joke:

Love makes the world go round. Well, okay, that and Hate. 😞

@1968Hoya46 Great Add - here's another travel song by Johnny Horton. Doug Kershaw did an amazing job with it, too: "The Battle of New Orleans".

"Southbound Train, (Going Down)" Crosby and Nash. Mary Travers did it, as well.

 

This is a twofer - It belongs in the Protest & Rebellion Thread, also. Placing it there.

Words: DuBose Heyward & Ira Gershwin

Music: George Gershwin

Don't be surprised if you tear up. I always do.

The conclusion to "Porgy and Bess": "I'm On My Way".
