Thanks again for the start of the post...just discovered it tonight......NICE!!!
Here's the lyrics to "Son Of A Travelin' Man" and a cool link to hear the song all the way through!
Ba da da.....ba da da
Ba da da.....ba da da da
Well, I`m the son of a traveling man
And though I`m partially shackin'
Railroad whistles and freighter horns
Turn me on, and I'm packing
Seattle, Savannah
Orlando or anywhere
Chicago, St. Louis
Sheboygan, I`m going there
Though I know that I love you
And the feeling's so good
If you love me too
I'm warning you
Don't count em forever
We can have a ball together
But if fun time??? come admitten' comes a feeling
I`ll be splitting
Tacoma, Pomona
Don`t know where
I`m heading for
There`s one thing I`m sure of
Just as soon as I get there, baby
I`ll be feeling like
Traveling on once more
Baby, now that you understand
Well, there`s no reason for sorrow
You know, I`m the son of a travelin' man
Here today, gone tomorrow
From Boston to Charleston
Wherever the four winds blow
I`m restless, I`m ready
There`s a rainbow for me to follow
Anywhere that it leads me
I must go!
Milwaukee, Muskegon
Miami, the heart is there
Atlanta, New Orleans
Columbus or anywhere
Biloxi or Philly
Toledo I'm going there

"Goodnight Saigon" by Billy Joel, in addition to its title, also mentions Parris Island, more than once, I think!

Don't know who started (on this thread) with the Kingston Trio, but I guess I'll try to finish it. (OK, I had to do a little research for a few more obscure place names in their tunes. I found these:
South Coast, New York Girls, The Seine, Across The Wide Missouri, ‘Round About The Mountain, Everglades, Colorado Trail, The River Is Wide, Coast Of California, Pastures Of Plenty, Coming From The Mountains, Glorious Kingdom, Laredo, Brown Mountain Light, One More Town, Tell It On The Mountain, Away Rio, Portland Town, The New Frontier, Road To Freedom, River Run Down, Big Ball In Town, Run The Ridges, Desert Pete, Georgia Stockade, Walkin’ This Road To My Town, World I Used To Know, Isle In The Water, Poverty Hill, I’m Going Home (California), Gonna Go Down The River, Parchment Farm Blues, Norwegian Wood, Hawaiian Nights, The World Needs a Melody, San Miguel, Aspen Gold.

a forgotten song, that the experts have omitted from playlists.
keeping with the theme;
I also Like "It Don't Rain in Indianpolis..........."Little Green Apples" - OC SMith
Why ommit Hickory Holler (made the top 40). Who needs an Oldies station programmed , I've got over 10,000(Oldies, Classic R&B , Classic Country and Classic Rock) songs on my computer clipped/normalized and ready to go.

Here in Tennessee, the highway patrol is running a PSA to the tune of "I've Been Everywhere," but theirs is "We'll Be Everywhere" (looking for speeders, of course), but instead of all those nationwide places, it only mentions cities and towns here in Tennessee.
