This list of entrepreneur songs came up in my RSS reader today, and I had to add what has long been the only song that I ever associated with this designation: Joe Jackson's Wild West. (from the out-of-print Big World CD)

"You keep pushing on when your friends keep turning back.
You keep building towns and laying railroad track
And things get crazy and you have to use that gun
And you wonder if this is the way the west is won"

Not only are the lyrics unintentionally dead-on, but the music captures both the solitude and frenzy that are part-and-parcel of making a business happen. Twenty five years ago I remember playing this song a few dozen times in a row very late on a number of nights sitting alone in my first real office, in a desktop publishing shop I opened in in 1984 in Boulder CO. It sounds just as great now.
