I Need Help With Songs That Mention Greyhound Buses

Hello everyone!

I am in the process of compiling a list of songs that mention the old Greyhound bus lines. I have a couple I can think of off the top of my head:

America - Simon & Garfunkel
Greyhound - Harry Chapin

I thought of a few others earlier and now I've forgotten them! I knew I should have written them down!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Ramblin MAn by the Allman Brothers

 

Thank God and Greyhound by Roy Clark

 

Blues For Baby And Me - Elton John

 

Can't think of a song, but a line from Howard the Duck that's stuck with me for 30+ years

"39 seats, 39 stories"

 

Lovin' Spoonful - Never Going Back:

Graveyard Train - CCR: "Rosie ran into the 'hound"

 

Drifters - Under the Boardwalk

Billy Joel - NY State of Mind

 

Here's a few songs that mention busses (but not necessarily Greyhound):

"Another One Rides the Bus" - 'Weird Al' Yankovic
"Bus Stop" - The Hollies
"The Bus Stop Song (A Paper of Pins)" - The Four Lads
"Double Dutch Bus" - Frankie Smith
"Greyhound" - Buddy Morrow & His Orchestra
"Last Time I Saw Him" - Diana Ross
"Magic Bus" - The Who
"Mr. Bus Driver" - Bruce Channel
"Thank God and Greyhound" - Roy Clark
"Waiting at the Bus Stop" - Bobby Sherman

The Diana Ross song does at least mention "Greyhound bound," which is a pretty good one.
