Stuck inside of Mobile...

After exhaustive research in my own record collection, here is the ultimate compo for that sub-genre of country music I was talking about the other day: the leaving-everything-behind genre. I could have cast my net wider than this and included songs about driving towards places, but that's a whole nother compo really, isn't it, so songs like "Two Days From Knowing For Sure" and "Four-Thirty" are excluded on the grounds of keeping it pure. Also there are songs about proposing a journey with a significant other, like "Heads Carolina, Tails California," and "Alabama Song," but these two are excluded. I limited myself to 10 tracks, because it keeps the riff raff out.

1. Shut Up And Drive - Chely Wright, from Let Me In
2. Georgia - Carolyn Dawn Johnson, from Room with a View
3. Ford Econoline - Nanci Griffith, from Lone Star State of Mind
4. Leaving Houston Blues - Bobbie Cryner, from Bobbie Cryner
5. A Little Past Little Rock - Lee Ann Womack, from Some Things I Know
6. Hello, I'm Gone - Trisha Yearwood, from Everybody Knows
7. Too Gone To Care - Joy Lynn White - from Wild Love
8. Cry On The Shoulder Of The Road - Martina McBride, from Wild Angels
9. The Knot Comes Untied - Sara Evans, from No Place That Far
10. Break Down Here - Julie Roberts, from Julie Roberts...

...which is where we came in.
