How about this one?
Long coastal drives in California are the best rides for sure, windows down, music loud and gorgeous ocean and mountain
scenery. I do miss that most of all.

The song, "Lady Godiva," by Peter & Gordon mentions Coventry, the scene of her legendary ride to reduce taxes. The lyrics reference her riding through the city, often citing the town's name, to fulfill the bargain with her husband.
The song was popular but faced potential, though unconfirmed, backlash from the mayor of Coventry, who reportedly felt it insulted the city. The lyrics are based on the 11th-century legend of Lady Godiva, who rode naked on a horse through Coventry to persuade her husband, Earl Leofric, to lower taxes on the townspeople.
