Topic made me chuckle a little bit.
There was a song called "Further Again" by Staggered Crossing.
Song starts off "heading out on the 401". The 401 is a major highway in Ontario. AKA known as the MacDonald-Cartier Freeway.
First line of the second verse is "heading out on the 115". Past Oshawa, the 115 branches out, and goes to Peterborough.
True story time!
A group of us were going to the hockey game in Peterborough. Friend of mine, who knows pretty much EVERY highway in Ontario, pops the CD with the song in my CD player.
We were a couple of minutes away from the 115 exit. It came to "heading out on the 401".
I think he knew the next line (I didn't), he asks me, "You wanna hurry it up a little bit?"
When it came to "heading out on the 115", we had literally JUST made it onto the 115.
When I saw the song on iTunes for 69 cents a few years later, I downloaded it.for nostalgia purposes.

But this topic doesn't necessarily have to have the streets in the title, just in the lyrics.

"Lost in Hollywood" by System of a Down.

Might as well have a purpose, as long as we're heading out on the road

Paul Simon once noted that there were whores on Seventh Avenue.
Ruby Keeler said there were sexy ladies from the eighties who were indiscreet on 42nd Street.
Frank once said that Chicago's State Street was great.
Though I'm not sure what a "freeze out" is, Springsteen sang of one on Tenth Avenue.
Arlester "Dyke" Christian found a Broadway in every town he went in. Wilson Pickett had the same experience.
Jan and Dean drove past Sunset and Vine. And they knew an old lady who raced down Colorado Blvd. -
