I like this one, from John Prine's Paradise

Well sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River
To the abandoned old prison down by Adrie hill.
Where the air smelled like snakes, and we'd shoot with our pistols
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill.

It inspired me to take a hike along the Green River in Kentucky. The river is truly green, and the air does smell like snakes. I was happy I didn't encounter any snakes.
