Post Highway/Road Songs. (Covers acceptable) Examples show the way home:











And of course The Trucker songs:

I have been putting some playlists together for a road trip next month and this is on a few of them.

I approve of "Radar Love."

Please give this old geezer a pass, and don't flame that you have to click the link to hear, and "see" the road shots, from Hank Snow's "I've Been Everywhere":

Excellent

Because my friend Bones had a '62, which we used to cruise in during our high school days.

Amarillo Highway...Terry Allen has a studio version a bit more furnished
Note that the song has the added virtue of mentioning poker

Original I think, by Uncle Dave Mason - Way Down the Old Plank Road. The Chieftains did a cover that is good also and even Grampa Jones did one. The lyrics are the best and should be memorized by all.

I didn't start this thread just to post the SpongeBob SquarePants road song, although that is an excellent reason. As Steve Earle started us off so he will continue down that lonesome highway with one of his best:





Lyrics, so youall can sing along……………



Hey pretty baby are you ready for me
It's your good rockin' daddy down from Tennessee
I'm just out of Austin bound for San Antone
With the radio blastin' and the bird dog on

There's a speed trap up ahead in Selma Town
But no local yokel gonna shut me down
'Cause me and my boys got this rig unwound
And we've come a thousand miles from a Guitar Town

Nothin' ever happened 'round my hometown
And I ain't the kind to just hang around
But I heard someone callin' my name one day
And I followed that voice down the lost highway

Everybody told me you can't get far
On thirty-seven dollars and a jap guitar
Now I'm smokin' into Texas with the hammer down
And a rockin' little combo from the Guitar Town
…
Hey pretty baby don't you know it ain't my fault
I love to hear the steel belts hummin' on the asphalt
Wake up in the middle of the night in a truck stop
Stumble in the restaurant wonderin' why I don't stop

Gotta keep rockin' why I still can
I gotta two pack habit and a motel tan
But when my boots hit the boards I'm a brand new man
With my back to the riser I make my stand

And hey pretty baby won't you hold me tight
We're loadin' up and rollin' out of here tonight
One of these days I'm gonna settle down
And take you back with me to the Guitar Town
