If you are taking your used cars on a cross-country trip this summer, one thing that will keep you going is a playlist of great road trip songs. Road trip songs will help you stay energized and excited about your destination and they are also fun to listen to. Here is a list of my favorite road trip songs that I listen to when driving my used cars.
1. Summer of ’69 by Bryan Adams – There probably isn’t a person alive who cannot sing along with this classic. It’s fun, peppy and tells a great story.
2. Life is a Highway by Tom Cochran – The backbone of any great road trip song is its references to the open road. This song has that and much, much more.
3. Small Town by John Cougar Mellencamp – Any song by JCM would be a great road trip song, but this one is just fun.
4. Free Fallin’ by Tom Petty – You just can’t get much better than this classic song.
5. Hannah Jane by Hootie and the Blowfish – I’m a sucker for anything by HBF, but this is the first song off of their first commercially successful CD so it has a special place in my heart every time I hit the open road.
Are any of these songs your favorite road trip songs? What are some road trip songs that you enjoy when you hit the highway?
