"Allison Road" is a song by the American alternative rock band Gin Blossoms.
In 1989, Robin Wilson passed by a sign on his way to El Paso that read "Next Exit Allison Road."
In a Billboard interview from 1994, he recalled: I walked to the other room, sat down in front of the television and turned on CNN.
However, "Allison Road" had impressed his bandmates sufficiently to earn a place on the band's album.
Wilson recalled, "When I came in with 'Allison Road,' it was hard for everybody, even Doug, to deny that I had a significant contribution to make to the songs.
