RE: Best Road Songs

[Kelly]

 
[font=" comic sans ms" ]Mom s thread about favorite music got me thinking....there was a thread on the old board about our top 5 songs.  That was fun!  
 How about listing your Top 5 Road Songs ~ either songs about being on the road or songs you like to listen to while on the road or songs that make you long for the road!  
 I ll start ~ (in no particular order)
 [ul]
 

• The Load Out ~ Jackson Browne
•  Turn the Page ~ Bob Seger
• Thunder Road ~ Bruce Springsteen
• You Can Sleep While I Drive ~ Melissa Etheridge
• Riding With the King ~ John Hiatt (or Eric Clapton & BB King)
[/ul]
 Anybody else?

Now this all depends on where we are headed. For example, on our long road trip last spring when we were going to see Graceland, we played " Graceland"  by Paul Simon. On the way to Memphis, we had Guy Clark playing " Limo to Memphis" . And while we were just hanging in Memphis, we played " Walking in Memphis"  by Marc Cohn. So it all depends on the mood and destination.

Most of the " road music"  I like, including " Graceland" , and " Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes" , is also GREAT treadmill music![]  
 
 (Yes, as someone else has already remarked, these smilies DO look like Pokemon faces LOL)

OK, my songs are, in no particular order...Battle of New Orleans (which my DS also loves), Convoy, East Bound and Down (or what ever you call it from Smokey and the Bandit), Desperado, and Take it Easy.  I also like to put in my soundtrack to Riverdance for my longer trips, or one of my greatest country hits.  I guess it all depends on what mood I m in.
