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!!

@1968Hoya46 - Love "Big Train From Memphis", and I sang it as a square dance caller. Fun fact: The Big Train From Memphis was actually a person: Elvis Presley. This was John's tribute to the King.

The Only Living Boy In New York - Simon and Garfunkel - actually Paul, solo - he wrote it about Artie leaving to film "Catch 22". In listening, I got the sense that he knew, when he wrote it, they were drifting apart.  https://youtu.be/5biEjyXNa2o

El Paso City - Marty Robbins.  It picks up right where "El Paso" ends and continues the story. If you have not heard it, but remember how "El Paso" ends...... https://youtu.be/8xvo_BBkIbg
