Can you help me think of songs (at least marginally well known) with a driving a car / road-trip theme? I know there are many, I'm having a brain-block in trying to think of them.
The ones I can think of: Drive my car - Beatles; On the road again - Willie Nelson; Drivin' on 9 - the Breeders; Moving right along - the Muppets;
I can't think of any more!! but I know there are some. Google is not helping me because 'driving' shows up in a lot of songs that are about other things, and so on... I'm thinking of rewriting a song with this theme but trying not to re-invent any wheels already rolling around out there...
thanks,
joe w larson

Willie Nelson's 'On the Road Again' would probably be too obvious for your purpose, no? Green Day's 'Hitchin a Ride', is at least road-trip inspired...I think it's actually about sobriety. I have more, but my steak is burning....try later.

Born To Be Wild, Hot Rod Lincoln, Pink Cadillac, actually I have seen compilations at the music store dedicated to driving. Dead Man's Curve, Mustang Sally, Hitchin' a Ride, etc.

thanks for all the ones so far and keep them coming! i know almost all the songs that have been mentioned, isn't it weird how you can just have a mental block on something? i just heard 'pink cadallac' on the radio this morning and somehow it didn't even register!!
now i just have to think through and read lyrics on line to make sure i'm not robbing anyone's ideas or telling stories that have already been told better... seems like a good universal theme with lots of possible angles though.

You can never go wrong with a good road song! I have a few. Good luck with it.

'One piece at a time' (well, not actually a rosd trip theme)
in country music they always re-invent 18 wheelers
