Break on Through -- The Doors
I've Been Everywhere -- Hank Snow
I'm Moving On -- Hank Snow
A few old train songs that I'm sure no one else here has ever hear of.
Sixteen Tons -- Tennessee Ernie Ford, but with some minor changes:
Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong
You ride sixty miles, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

I like "Cowboys like us" George Strait. It's about motorcycles, but it still applies. I also like to listen to Three Doors Down". The cadence is good for me.

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

I was raised in a small, country Baptist church. A lady often sang a song, don't recall the name (song name, not lady's name), but part of the song was, "Lord don't move that mountain, just give me strength to climb". I think of that sometimes when riding these hills in the Ozarks.

I agree with you. However, when I'm alone on the trail, I'll hum or sing to myself. On the C & O Canal Towpath last August, it was usually snatches from Bach I was 'performing.'
