One is "Death of an Unpopular Poet" - Jimmy Buffett. There is a youtube version where his daughter asks him about the song's meaning and then he plays it to his daughter and two dogs.

Most of Billy Joel’s songs tell a story. Love his music. Very real.

Cat’s in the Cradle by Harry Chapin

I love that song--about a cat whose personality is a lot like my neighbor's cat.

El Paso,,kinda surprised seeing it mentioned so many times in this thread. So many of my friends never even heard of Marty Robbins. One of my all time favorites, purest voice ever in the yesteryears.

Turns out the kid was better than the dad. He at least worried about his kids having the flu and couldn’t meet dad.
