Not so much about as by, but a favourite of mine... "Mountains on my mind", by Bill Fries & Chip Davis but performed by CW McCall...

Rollin' down the runway
Thinkin' 'bout the one way
Of my life
With another cup of coffee
And another lonesome city
Far behind
This old Seven-Fourty-Seven
Will be flyin' over heaven
One more time
And the tears begin to fallin'
When I think about the mountains
On my mind

But now the skies above are sunny
And it's time to say it's funny
How I never thought I'd ever fly this high
But maybe someday when it over
When I'm just a little older
I can go back to the mountains on my mind

Flyin' through the nighttime
To a far off city skyline
In the dawn
And a thousand lights below me
Are like fireflies tryin' to tell me
That I'm wrong
So I try to find a reason
To forget the changin' seasons
In my mind
But the winds of time are blowin'
And I gotta go on knowin'
That I've tried

Cause now I hear a different drummer
An' I've used up all my summers
Chasin' rainbows that I really didn't wanna find
But maybe someday when it over
When I'm just a little older
I can go back to the mountains on my mind
