OT: Songs That Indicate, Hint, or Imply Direction or Distance...of Some Type

Darius Rucker does a good version as well.

Saw these guys in Simsbury, CT a few years ago. They opened for Willie Nelson.

"Walking to the south out of Roanoke
I caught a trucker out of Philly had a nice long toke
But he's a-headed west from the Cumberland Gap
To Johnson City Tennessee.........."

 

Lordy, is she playing an erhu??? (Definitely something closely related.) Quite possibly the last instrument I’d expect to see in a Joe Bonamassa show.

(I had a buddy from Taiwan in graduate school who played one of those “not exactly an erhu” instruments. He’d let me play it while I let him play one of my mountain dulcimers.)
 
A favorite from 1969, lyrics loosely based on poems of Antonio Machado…




Walker, your footprints are the path
Caminante, son tus huellas el camino

and nothing more
Y nada más

Walker, there is no path
Caminante, no hay camino

The path is made by walking
Se hace camino al andar

When you walk you make a path, and when you look back
Al andar se hace camino, y al volver la vista atrás

You see the path that will never be trodden again
Se ve la senda que nunca se ha de volver a pisar

Walker, there is no path
Caminante, no hay camino

But wakes in the sea
Sino estelas en la mar
