SONG TITLES and SONGS about DISTANCES & TRAVEL

[LookOverYonder]

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!!

@ripvanwinkle96 Great, and somewhat sad, add. I believe this was the last film for both Joel McCrea and Randolph Scott. I've heard and read that this was the final "Classic Hollywood Western". (Sigh.)

[ripvanwinkle96]

"Yup" that it was. Although it was the last film for them two, Peckingpah continued his homage to the bond of honor between men of the west in films to come, especially in "The Wild Bunch"

"Hog of the Forsaken" * Michael Hurley
