I thought of doing one about The A34 Milton interchange at Didcot
but couldn't rhyme Didcot :-)

Parrot was close as I got...

Have not, what not, fuck snot all rhyme with Didcot - you just didn't try hard enough!

Its because our roads aren't long enough.

You set off after breakfast, have lunch half way up the M1 in a Happy Eater and you're there by tea time. There's no f*cking adventure in that! You can't drive all night to cross the stateline with another 5 days driving ahead of you.

I suppose we could write about driving accross Europe but somehow getting pulled over by the French Police for not signalling when you changed lane still doesn't compete with riding shotgun down highway 1 with the Pacific Ocean on your right and red wood pines to your left.

Done by an American but Gretchen Peters' England Blues fits the bill.

Not to forget Roy Harper's hymn to motorway services Watford Gap

Best Americana song about a train in England...easy Darden Smith's 'Last Train to London'...so if he can do it :-)

So its a "Walking song" then?
Actually, I joke, but there are Train, Road, Truck songs but are there walking songs we could use to start a genre?

We do one - it's our take on Queen Ida's I-10 Express, which we've renamed the A50 Express, as we spend so much time crossing the Midlands on it. It's an instrumental, so the lyrical matters aren't an issue....
