Unsure if you're taking I-80, but if so, Gary Usher's oddly beautiful
tribute "Sacramento".
The Everly Brothers wonderful baroque tune "Illinois" (on their Roots
album).
//"Sweet Home Chicago" - the Magic Sam version is my favorite.
Some 70s hits: "The Night Chicago Died" by Paper Lace & "Indiana Wants
Me" by R. Dean Taylor.
Can't believe no one mentioned Ian Hunter's "Cleveland Rocks".
Chrissie Hynde's "My City Was Gone".
"Allentown" - Billy Joel.
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ramones>"53rd & 3rd" by The Ramones &
"New York City (You're a Woman)" by Al Kooper.
Some road songs:
- Promised Land - Chuck Berry.
- Night Train - James Brown.
- Six Days On The Road - by some Muscle Shoals cats.
- Hitch Hike - Marvin Gaye (or the Rolling Stones version).
- "On The Road Again" by the late great Al Wilson (Canned Heat).
There's a gazillion road songs...
