  1. Where was it raining hard when I needed one more fare to make my night?
  2. Where are four dead?
  3. Where is the place that wants me, but I can’t go back there?

  5. Where am I moving to soon to become a dental floss tycoon?
  6. Where is calling to the faraway towns, now that war is declared, the battle come down?
  7. Where do all my exes live?
  8. Where was the turnpike covered in snow from Stockbridge to?
  9. Where did it take me four days to hitchhike from?
  10. Where is just like I pictured it, skyscrapers, and everything?
  11. Where are we living and they’re closing all the factories down?
  12. Where is a delta shining like a national guitar?
  13. Where do I bless the rains?
  14. Where were McGuinn and McGuire getting higher?
  15. Where have you heard about after you heard about Houston and Detroit?
  16. Where did I just get back from, then I locked the front door, oh boy?
  17. Where were we pulled apart because her mom did not agree and tore apart our happy home?
  18. Where do I want to go when I get off of this mountain, straight down the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico?

  1. Blackford Lancashire

10
  1. Denver
  2. Nashville
11

Nashville is correct (it’s from “Nashville Cats” by the Lovin’ Spoonful), but Denver is wrong.

So, #22 and #24 are still unsolved.

12

Boston.

The Denver verse (from memory, so if I err, please excuse it):

Please come to Denver when the snow flies.
We’ll move up into the mountains so far that we can’t be found,
And throw “I love you” echoes down the canyons,
And lie awake at night 'till they come back around.
Please come to Denver; she just said no…

No paintings in Denver. Those were in Boston.

13

Bingo- I figured you had the wrong verse of the right song!

14

[Never second guess yourself.]

15

I know what song it’s from…trying to find that piece of my brain that contains the full lyric…gimme a minute here…
mmm
ETA: Omaha is mentioned in the song, but that’s not a state capital

ETA # 2: Little Rock???

16

Yes- from Grand Funk’s “We’re on American Band.”
“On the road for 40 days,
Last night in Little Rock put me in a haze.
Sweet, sweet Connie was doing her act.”

17

  1. What city is like a friendly old ghost you seem to pass right through?

  2. Where does the Seminole Wind blow all the way up to?
