Of course you’ve got your road-tripping song trifecta: Life Is a Highway, Country Roads, and Sweet Home Alabama.
Country Roads – John Denver
Other than those (and any Disney movie soundtrack), here are my suggestions.
My Silver Lining – First Aid Kit
I’ll Be Here in the Morning – Townes Van Zandt
Take It Easy – Eagles
Friend of the Devil – The Grateful Dead
50 Ways to Leave Your Lover – Paul Simon
Hasn’t Hit Me Yet – Blue Rodeo
Wheat Kings – The Tragically Hip
Highwayman – The Highwaymen
Ghost Riders in the Sky – Johnny Cash
Piledriver Waltz – Alex Turner
Rivers and Roads – The Head and the Heart
Riptide – Vance Joy
Honorable mentions
On the Road Again – Willie Nelson
The Weight – The Band
Bonus: A song for staring moodily out of an airplane window
