Buick35 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I was just thinking of how many songs have highways mentioned. I can think of Highway 61(both versions) The terror of Highway 101, Ramblin Man with highway 41. Anybody know of any others? Just wondered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John348 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) 2 hours ago, Bills Auto Works said: YES! ....Boy I really blew that one! LOL Actually one of my favorite songs. I know how I did it, I had Springsteen's "Atlantic City" on my mind thinking their was a highway 99 reference in it but there was not! I will replace my Springsteen Gaff with a different song of his "Open All Night" with the lines: "Turnpikes sure spooky at night when your all alone" & "I met Wanda when she was employedBehind the counter at the Route 60 Bob's Big Boy" A definitely COOL car song! God bless Bill https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/nationwide-single-car-transport-hauling-open-or-enclosed.614419/ It's easy to do Springsteen biggest influence is Dylan, and in some songs it is almost inseparable, This happens with some Byrds and Tom Petty material as well, I had seen Roger McGuiin the other night in a small venue in NY and he said he was in a studio in Florida and heard American Girl being demoed and he told his agent " I don't remember writing this" his agent then told him you didn't so the artist even gets fooled.

TAKerry Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Jim Croce, Speeball Tucker (hey its got tucker in the name too!) He has another song with lyrics saying something to the effect "95 is the route you were on, not the speed limit sign". I can hear the song over in my head but cant place the name. I started to listen to my older sisters JC albums when I was about 8 or 9. One of the reasons why I wanted to learn to play guitar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC38dls Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Lake Shore Drive, though not a designated highway it is a six lane road heading north out of Chicago along Lake Michigan. Just a great car song on an impressive road. dave s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
