Default Name a song(s) that you just never get tired of playing

Feeling slightly ill today and having a hard time putting in my 60-90 mins.
That seems to be the amount I need to keep my callouses.

Wish You Were Here
Sloop John B (a heavy touch of Carter style and boom/chicka)
Sweet Home Alabama and Freebird
Wayfaring Stranger (Carter style)
Wonderful Tonight

These are some of the songs that I play often with no paper prompts or looking at hands.

What are some of yours?

A couple of songs I'll always play if I pick up a guitar in standard is Mississippi Blues (Stefan Grossman's arrangement) and Deep River Blues (Toby Walker's arrangement).

I open every gig with my version of Bob Dylan's "You Ain't Going' Nowhere "

At the gigs it is of course a bit more sparse

I choose the 'songs' option:

"Here Comes the Sun" - Beatles
"Apache" - Jorgen Ingmann *
"Honky Tonk Man" - Johnny Horton
"Urge For Going" - Tom Rush
"Save the Last Dance for Me" - Drifters
"Maria Elena" - Los Indios Tabajaras *
"Sunny Afternoon" - Kinks
"Moondance" - Van Morrison
"Walk Right In" - Rooftop Singers
"Uptown" - Roy Orbison
"Runaway" - Del Shannon
"Walk On By" Leroy van Dyke
"Pipeline" - Chantays *

* = Instrumental

I'll play all of them on a 6 string, but the following sound better to me on a 12 string:
"Sunny Afternoon" - Kinks
"Moondance" - Van Morrison
"Walk Right In" - Rooftop Singers
"Pipeline" - Chantays

Was tempted to say "Tired of Waiting" by the Kinks, well just because . . .

List not set in stone.
