I love to put together a travel soundtrack relevant to the places I’m going but I have some standard travel songs that I almost always include. These songs just ignite that passion to hit the road (or the skies.) What would you add to this list?
- Leaving on a Jet Plane performed by Peter, Paul, & Mary
- Seatbacks & Traytables by Fountains of Wayne
- On the Road Again by Willie Nelson
- I’ve Been Everywhere performed by Johnny Cash
- King of the Road by Roger Miller
- Road Trippin’ by the Red Hot Chili Peppers
- Life is a Highway performed by Rascal Flatts
- Get Out the Map by the Indigo Girls
- Everyday is a Winding Road by Sheryl Crow
- Heads Carolina, Tails California performed by JoDee Messina
- Airstream Song by Miranda Lambert
- The Long Way Around by the Dixie Chicks
- Fast Car by Tracy Chapman
- I Drove All Night performed by Cyndi Lauper
- Roam by the B-52s
These are a little more loosely related but I still work them in…
- Learn to Fly by Foo Fighters
- Superman by Five for Fighting (because I really don’t like flying much)
- Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf
- Stickshifts & Safety Belts by Cake
- The Backseat by Gaslight Anthem
- Little Red Corvette by Prince
- Highway to Hell by AC/DC
- Standing Still by Jewel

Gotta have Holiday Road by Lindsey Buckingham, ala the Griswolds!
