Road Trip Songs: Tunes to Keep You Going

Want to make your road trip really feel like a road trip? Make some CDs filled with road trip songs that mention driving, the open road, a lover you left behind, and so on.

Here are a few ideas you may not come across on other websites:

-“Been Too Long on the Road” and “Truckin” by Bread.

-“Take It Easy” by Eagles may be the most obvious choice and perhaps the best driving song ever. But there’s also “Life in the Fast Lane,” “Already Gone,” and “Seven Bridges Road”.

-“Drive In Drive Out” by Dave Matthews Band.

-“I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” by The Proclaimers.

-“I Am the City” by ABBA (at least, when you’re approaching a city after a long drive through a rural area).

-Slow it down a bit with “Faithfully” by Journey.

-“Carolina Blues” by Blues Traveler (actually, just listen to the whole album because it’s called “Straight On Till Morning”).

-“Cool the Engines” by Boston.

-“Silver Thunderbird” by Marc Cohn.

-“Sweet Hitch-Hiker” and “Up Around the Bend” by Creedence Clearwater Revival.

I’ve probably omitted some of the best road trip songs. But I hope I’ve given you a few ideas you may have overlooked.
