Thanks for all of the songs! Some of them I knew, others are brand new to me so I’ve gotta find them and put them in my “Road Songs” playlist. ---

A couple more: “Beth” by KISS: _You say you feel so empty That our house just ain’t our home_ And “Runnin’ Back to Saskatoon” by the Guess Who lists the names of the places they’d play on the road: _Moose Jaw, Broadview, Moosomin too Runnin’ back to Saskatoon Red Deer, Terrace and a Medicine Hat Sing another prairie tune Sing another prairie tune_ ---

::: Moderator curses under his breath ::: Hey, c’mon, folks. Quoting lengthy lyrics is a potential copyright violation, and anyhow is against our rules (whether it’s a copyright violation or not.) Some of you have been around long enough to know better. See: [Rules for Posting on the Straight Dope Message Boards](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=384736) and especially note Post #3; and see [Cafe Society: Forum Rules](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=384736) and note Post #2. The proper way to quote full stanzas is to provide a link to a source that holds the copyright, and to quote a line or two. I haven’t the time or energy to sort these out. When I thought a quote was too long, I chopped it down to the first two lines that you quoted. If you want to quote other lines, or you think I was unfair in chopping, email me. ---

This was never the intention of my OP. I was looking for song names and artists (although some of the relevant lyrics did help). ---

Eh. I only quoted as much of the lyrics as were needed to demonstrate it was a “road” song. [Fair use](http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl102.html) says I. If anything, quoting a stanza or two (not the whole song, of course) _increases_ the marketability of the song (inasmuch as it might make people curious or interested enough to go out and buy the song). Nevertheless, I cop to jaywalking. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/road-songs/390984.md?page=1)
