Ah, "Runaway". Great record. I was thinking of Del's "Keep Searchin'." There are two different songs named "On the Road Again", one by Willie, one by Canned Heat. Roy Orbison also has a riveting version of "I Drove All Night."

Glen Campbell also has "Wichita Lineman" ("I am a lineman for the county, and I drive the main road&quot. How about "California Girls", "Massachusetts", or "San Francisco".

I do recall that Arlo Guthrie recorded "City of New Orleans." I think it was written by Steve Goodman.

Gosh, how could I forget "Daytripper" and "Drive My Car" (beep, beep, hmm, beep, yeah!).

Just last week, I was mildly shocked when the local radio played

<b>*</b>Who are You? - The Who
<b>*</b>then asked for Katrina donations and played
<b>*</b>Why Should I Care? - The Who

I may not have the titles correct, but the bands and the main verses are correct.

I know the Arlo Guthrie version of The City of New Orleans too

Good Morning America how are ya? Don't you know me, I'm your native son. I'm a train they call The City of New Orleans, and I've gone (?) 500 miles before the day is done.

Speaking of the Guthries - how about This Land is My Land by his dad Woody?
