Thanks!
First heard this as I left PA with my son heading for Springfield, MO. Nice ride. When going back to visit would hear it to but sonny would moan. Soon hope to be heading south to NC to visit him, then to TN (near nashville) to see my bro and back to MO for a bit. Love to drive.

“Very long and sad song, but it would be Roads to Moscow by my Al Stewart.”
I saw him in concert not too long ago. Unfortunately, he did not sing this great song. He did sing On the Border which qualifies.

“Song of the Wanderer” has always been an old favorite of mine, regardless of who does it.
Another reliable journey song, albeit about the final journey... “The Lonesome Road.” Always liked the Nat Shilket version from the late-1920s. One more similar-vintage favorite about a journey, “Cobble Stones,” from around 1927, recorded by Ted Weems, and also by Ed Kirkeby (under the pseudonym of the New York Syncopators). Both versions are pretty good, although the later has a better jazz edge.

Ya, aviation songs kinda stick with me. There’s one my great grandad taught me: “Come Josephine In My Flying Machine” and we had a blast watching “Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines” movie ..... I think I was around seven at the time ... he was a great guy .... miss him.
The version I remember way back was by Peter, Paul, and Mary.
Well sometimes I’m here because I’m not all there but then I’m here .... this is all so confusing ....
Or, a song not about a journey, but for journeying.

I was looking for that one - mine too!
I was unaware of these tunes until I read your post. I prefer the Ed Kirkeby version of “Cobble-Stones,” although the quality of the Youtube version that I found isn’t very good.
