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
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!!

Wow. I can't believe I have not posted this song, as much as I love it - not exactly rock & roll, but definitely about distance:
"Me And The Sky" from "Come From Away" https://youtu.be/Q8ukgH6U-d0
Look at the jacket Jenn Colella is wearing. She is playing the part of Captain Beverly Bass. And she is wearing the jacket Captain Bass was wearing on 9/11/2001. Captain Bass loaned it to her for the Broadway production.

"Those Hollywood Nights" by Bob Seger
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_D4eUWBAE_A
"She stood there bright as the sun on that California coast
He was a midwestern boy on his own
She looked at him with those soft eyes, so innocent and blue
He knew right then he was too far from home
He was too far from home.....
He spent all night staring down at the lights of LA
Wondering if he could ever go home...."
