As a kid, I thought the song "Ventura Highway" was actually "Venture a Highway."
OMG. I thought there was no way there was another

I 65 reference
John Anderson- Chicken Truck


I know the guy that wrote that. I always liked to point out to him that 65 doesn't go to Georgia.
I bet he still sings that song at every open mic night around Huntsville.

Another John Anderson song, Mississippi Moon, mentions Highway 61.

Kinda surprised we are this many posts in without a mention of Marshall Tucker's Take the Highway.

A couple of others I've thought of.

Allman Bros. - Ramblin' Man: I was born in the backseat of a Greyhound Bus, rollin' down highway 41.

Patty Loveless - Nothing But the Wheel: And 41 goes on and on and the lights go winding into dawn.

Lacy J. Dalton - 16th Avenue
