We all have them, you know, that one song that you absolutely HAVE to listen to when you’re on a road trip.
Here’s our road trip songs, what are yours?
- AK, Pat Green “Carry On“: Oldie but goodie…my favorite line is “Billboards and Bullshit got her down”. It’s one of those roll the windows down and blare it kinda songs. Hopefully it’s sunny out.
- Sarah, O.A.R “That Was a Crazy Game of Poker“: I CAN NOT get enough of this song and it’s perfect for road trips because it’s almost 9 minutes long! So basically, by the time you listen to it a few times (you know, to figure out all the words), you’re probably at least half way to your destination.
- Melis, Hank Williams Jr. “Bartender Song“: During one of my many years spent in college, a group of friends and I decided to take a road trip to Colorado. For some reason we listened to this song almost once an hour on that 20 hour drive, don’t ask me why. But now when I think road trip this song always comes to mind…
- Court, Explosions in the Sky “Your Hand in Mine“: This is actually not a roll your windows down sing along. Its all instrumental and has lots of highs and lows. Pretty EMO song, but I love it. Ben introduced me to this band and it’s since been one of my favs. I think I love listening to this song because its 9 damn minutes long and its great to listen to while reading or riding along.
It sounds like an odd pick, but Hey Nineteen by Steely Dan. Reminds me of my trio from CA to OK.
AK, you are my soul sister. Pat Green is my fave, and that line is one of my faves, too. The CD changer in my car currently has three Pat Green CDs in it.
@Morgy YES! He’s def one of my favs…I’ve seen him a couple times in concert and he was great!!
@Danielle Hey Nineteen reminds me of my dad blaring Steely Dan at the house I grew up in.
