Was driving over the weekend and began thinking about putting together a compilation of "road songs". Meaning, for me, songs that have to do with travelling, road trips, life trips (highway metaphor) etc.
Some starting examples;

Mason Williams...Road Song
Roger Miller...King of the Road
Crystal Gale...River Road
Stirling Siliphant...Theme from Route 66
Tom Cochrane...Life is a Highway
Elton John....Yellow Brick Road
Beatles....Ticket to Ride

Others?
 
Highway Star ... Deep Purple
Let It Roll ... BTO
Rollin Down The Highway ... Doobie Brothers
Running On Empty ... Jackson Browne
Bad Motor Scooter ... Montrose

My favorite song to inspire speeding: Radar Love by Golden Earing

That is one dangerous song to play in the car, actually a few other good road ones on Moontan.
 
How can no one mention "On the road again" , Willie Nelson?

Funny I was going to use that as my theme song, but ended up with "it's getting hot in here so take off all (my)your clothes!":eek:

But getting back on track......

The long and winding road..Beatles
The Locomotion..Kylie Mynogue..well that is really a railroad song
Gone in 60 seconds...Moby
