Whether you’re taking that cross country trip you always planned, out on a scenic Sunday drive through the country, or fighting road rage on a jammed up highway, these songs are the perfect soundtrack to the streets. Pop in you favorite Willie Nelson Greatest Hits CD (ha) and get back on the road again!

I had to cut this short as I found tons of songs that could fit this post. I left a lot of great stuff off for now, let me know which ones you think should go on future post like this.

Sir Mix-A-Lot - "My Hooptie" Rush - "Red Barchetta" Creedence Clearwater Revival- "Around the Bend" Eddie Kendricks-"Keep On Truckin' "

I absolutely cannot abide Willie Nelson. I would happily use every CD of his I come across as shotgun targets thrown out of the trap, kind of like a extra large clay pigeon.

[calex59]

Now that I have had my rant about Willie Nelson, let's get down to cases:

Older country western and Rock:
• Shotgun boogie-Tennessee Ernie Ford
• Sixteen Tons - Ernie again
• Johnny Be Good - Chuck Berry
• Rock and Roll Music - Chuck Berry
• La Bamba - Richie Valens
• Little Deuce Coup - Beach Boys
• Barbara Ann - Beach Boys
• Summer Time Blues - Big Bopper
• Rave on - Buddy Holly
• Rebel Rouser - Duane Eddy(instrumental)
• Jim Dandy - Laverne Baker
• Great Balls of Fire - Jerry Lee Lewis

  I guess I will stop now, that would be a nice drive!

A few more I thought of while dusting the living room and cranking the CD player:
Low Rider by War
Drive Slow by Kanye West
One Piece at a Time by Johnny Cash
Mercury Blues by Alan Jackson

Drive Slow by Kanye West

I just wanted to say that "Drive Slow" is one of the greatest songs to drive to OF ALL TIME!

[Zman516]

Eddie Cochran did Summer Time Blues.

[TruthWillWin]

"Why don't we do it in the Road?"....Beattles.

Or is that the kind of driving you were looking for?

Zap - Eric Johnson

Surpised nobody has mentioned Red Barchetta by Rush, yet.

[tioga]

Hit the Road Jack...........my family has sung at the beginning of road trips since we first saw the Dream Team.

[calex59]

So did the Big Bopper whom I prefer, although Cochran had the first one out. Know your oldies before you jump someone:)

I’d have to agree with President O, Kayne’s an a-hole but there’s no denying he sure has the gift of rhyme. When we owned a Saturn Sky, I’d replay that song over and over while trying to keep my foot off the gas.
