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!!

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".
