The Americana and roots music authority

We have train songs, car/road songs, boat songs but why now walking songs?

I wonder why? Is it that I can't think of many?
Of the top of my hung over (post birthday) head I can come up with 14th Street by Emily Spray, which Laura Cantrell covered. Actually that fits into another sub genre too - the stalking song.

Any others?
