ZZ Top

Anything and everything

I'm also partial to CCR on roadtrips as well.

For a true country twist, I have to admit I really enjoy Dwight Yoakam - especially "Streets of Bakersfield" and "Guitars, Cadillacs."

Fun thread!

My kids like "A Boy Named Sue" and "Everyone Loves a Nut", by Johnny Cash.

Roadhouse Blues - Jim Morrison and the Doors

"Life is a Highway," Rascall Flatts - even my 3 year old son loves it, since it's from Pixar's "Cars."

Good thread - DH is getting tired of my "Summer of '69" by Bryan Adams, so I need a new trip CD soon, too.

Thanks everyone! What a great list. I want to add "Hit the Road Jack" and(I think this is the title) "I've Been Everywhere, Man" by Johnny Cash
"I've been to Reno, Fargo, Minnesota, Buffalo....."
I was especially looking for fun songs for the kids.
I hope this list will help some others pass the miles too.
K.I.P.

And let's not forget "America the Beautiful".

* Where are we running? - Lenny Kratvitz
* Going Mobile - The Who
* Life is a Highway - Tom Cochrane's biggest solo hit after leaving Red Rider.
* 8 days on the road - Foghat
* Road Rash - Alice Cooper
* Rolling down the highway - BTO

If these songs are for the family, you can edit with a free audio editor and recorder such as 'Audacity'. e.g., Alice's song has the line, "all our cash spent on whites and wine".

whoops.
BTO's song is Roll on down the highway. I can't watch TV and type at the same time...

dadof3 Jul 29th, 2007 06:26 PM

another whoops.
Road Rats, not Road Rash.
"Road rats, we're a pack, and the road's our home."
