My favorite song with a city or town in it is Dylan's "Talkin' New York."

At the end of the song, when he is through describing how fed up with New York City and how awful he was treated there, he says he's gonna head for Western skies.

"So long, New York. Howdy . . .

East Orange."

Where I was born.

If you can stand Bob Dylan, here it is.

Dead End Street--Lou Rawls, 1967

[BlueDragon]

There have been some good ones so far.

But no one seems to have mentioned Linda Ronstadt's cover of Willin'

Personally, among locations mentioned in the song; I have been in Dallas, Tuscon, Tucumcari, Tehachapi (there is a truck scale there on the Westbound side, and they are grim-faced and serious at that one, no joke) and Tonapah, but I never smuggled smokes, nor folks from Mexico, although I have driven backroads to avoid having them take a peek at my logbook...

Weeds (cigarettes), whites, and wine can work, minus the the whites and the wine, in fact is absolutely necessary, but keep the coffee coming. The Colombian at the Pilot TS's is usually drinkable.

[MayflowerMadam]

“My City Was Gone” by The Pretenders. Only because when I hear it I can take a deep breath and relax — ‘cause it’s Rush’s theme song. If I know Rush is around, I feel all warm and fuzzy, and hopeful.
