"Graceland," Paul Simon
The Mississippi Delta
Was shining like a national guitar
I am following the river
Down the highway
Through the cradle of the Civil War...

"Gonna Take You There" from The Princess and the Frog
Goin' down the bayou
Goin' down the bayou
Goin' down the bayou
Takin' you all the way...

"Just Around The Riverbend" from Pocahontas
What I love most about rivers is
You can't step in the same river twice
The water's always changing, always flowing
But people, I guess, can't live like that
We all must pay a price
To be safe we lose our chance of ever knowing
What's around the riverbend
Waiting just around the riverbend...

"The Battle of New Orleans," The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
We looked down a river and we see'd the British come
And there must have been a hundred of 'em beatin' on the drum...

And Johnny Horton:

Other great rivers add power to you

So roll on, Columbia, roll on...

Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies...

So bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
