On That Note - Going the Distance

[ropingcy]

Jim Reeves "The Blizzard", covered by Johnny Cash and others.

"It's only 7 miles to Mary Ann's"

 

[jbhtexas]

Great live verison...

 

[ropingcy]

Johnny Cash "Five Feet and Rising"

 

[CtownCyclone]

Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while
Think I see my friends coming
Riding a many mile

 

[matclone]

Friends of mine by the Guess who
(I can't post a link at this time)

"Up the 13 steps of the gallows walked the condemned man"

 

[Isualum13]

And how can we forget paul rhoads son, Wyatt's beautiful rendition when he asked paige hoiberg to the prom?

Jefferson Airplane: White Rabbit

One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you, don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice, when she's ten feet tall

Can't have distance songs without Country contributions, so suck it up @MeanDean , I'm gonna hit you with some.
Obvious choice:


Such a strange situation stoppin' every hundred miles
Callin' Baton Rouge
Bonus - some really great fiddlin'


We may be a thousand miles apart
But I'll be with you wherever you are


Eighteen wheels and a dozen roses
Ten more miles on his four day run


We is headin' for bear on I-one-oh
'Bout a mile outta Shaky Town
I says, "Pig Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck.
"And I'm about to put the hammer down."

 

[ImJustKCClone]

And some random NON-country songs:

Danny Kaye singing "Inchworm: from "Hans Christian Anderson"


Otis...
Two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home


And an oft-overlooked gem by Harry Chapin
He started down the two mile drop,
The curving road that wound from the top of the hill.
He was pushing on through the shortening miles that ran down to the depot.
Just a few more miles to go

The Boss: Darlington County

Driving in to Darlington City
Got a union connection with an uncle of Wayne's
We drove eight hundred miles without seeing a cop
We got rock and roll music blasting off the T-top, singing

 

[Cydar]

Now Leroy more than trouble
You see he stand 'bout six foot four
All the downtown ladies call him "Treetop Lover"
All the men just call him "Sir"

 

[Cydar]

I wish I was like six-foot-nine
So I can get with Leoshi
'Cause she don't know me but yo she's really fine

 

[VeloClone]

"...I'll see the world by the mile."

 

[Cydar]

'Cause when that morning sun comes beating down
You're going to wake up in your town
But we'll be scheduled to appear
A thousand miles away from here

 

[ImJustKCClone]

Remembered this one:
I'd wait a million years Walk a million miles, cry a million tears

 

[arobb]

"I'm screaming daisies from fourteen miles away"

 

[drlove]

497 and a half feet of rope.

David Bowie: Space Oddity

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still

 

[Althetuna]

The Who: Long Live Rock

The place is really jumping to the high watt amps
'Til a twenty inch cymbal fell and cut the lamps
In the blackout they danced right into the aisle
