All this talk about Oklahoma brings to mind the song Tulsa Time made famous by Don Williams but I wonder how many know the original writer/artist of the tune?

Gimme One Reason fits the genre well enough IMO! Nice lyrics.

"Give me one reason to stay here
And I'll turn right back around
Give me one reason to stay here
And I'll turn right back around
Said I don't want leave you lonely
You got to make me change my mind."

Maybe consider this to be Road Trip Fuel, or am I being fuelish?

Great down home version of Tulsa Time too. Thanks.

Another good Steve Winwood number. This one makes me want to pat the accellerator. Here's Cross Roads.

Thanks Don, great song. Brings back memories. Here's a live recording of another early Clapton classic. Fits the bill:

Thinkin' bout the times you drove in my car............

Thanks!

Don't know if this has been posted, but it should move you on down the road.

EDIT: It seems I walked on ITSNO60 with this one. I will try to be more attentive next time.

No worries mate. I had that Doobie Bros album in high school, guess that says how old I am.

I like the fact that you tow your AS with an older diesel, I will be using my 2002 7.3 which runs like a dream. I'll bet you are your own mechanic too.

We have a 2002 F 250 crew cab with 7.3 and 4wd. It has about 300,000 miles on it. The engine seems to be bullet proof, and it's a crew cab. Mine has about 250,000 on it. I've been thinking of trading trucks. I would just clean it up and install a camper top. We use it for pulling heavy job trailers. It is strong. As you can see we run a truck into the ground. We virtually never sell one, or buy one for that matter.

Agree with Brian on that -- no apologies needed for any song posted here IMO, plus your old classic "Long Train Running," Don, is a fine road song with great rhythm and beat. The opening guitar riff takes me right back!

Check out the hair in the video on full screen.

Yeah, I remember . . . when I could have grown hair like that! [Did you say "could have?"]

Have a good weekend.

PS -- Don thanks for the post about your recent trip on The Blue Ridge Parkway, did you hear any good local music?

Love, love, love the outfit on the drummer in the Doobie Brothers set!!

The local station just played a Glen Campbell song, triggering this selection, a somewhat wistful number -- Galveston -- which reminds me of a winter trip to San Diego and Napa in the 25' a "few years ago." [Will put the other tune on the OTRA II thread.]

Same truck here only F-350 with 170K. Needs tires now and I'm having a tough time deciding on what to get.

Good old tunes there Peter, A while back I thought "By the Time I get to Phoenix" would make a good candidate for a road song but I never got around to posting it.

Anyone going to Louisiana?
