No road trip is complete without a playlist of songs that capture the spirit of traveling on the open road. So we’ve compiled a list of the 50 best road trip songs. In order to make this be-all end-all totally definitive list that all other lists look up to, the songs had to meet the following criteria: a.) encompass the excitement and freedom of road tripping b.) make the time pass faster c.) keep you awake without the assistance of questionably legal pills named “No Doze” d.) contain lyrics so singable that you’ll legitimately consider trying out for the next “American Idol” e.) keep you distracted long enough to make you forget you need to pee (which subsequently means stopping at a heinous rest stop where the bathroom stalls are tagged with death threats and truckers hit on you) f.) drown out the sound of your annoying friend who complains about a developing deep vein thrombosis from being crammed in the backseat (tough it up!) Get ready for car-aoke ’cause here’s The Ultimate Road Trip Playlist… 50. I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) – The Proclaimers (3:37) What songs do you have on your ultimate road trip playlist?

1. Life Is a Highway – Rascal Flatts (4:37)By the time you’ve played every song on this list, you’ll be 3 hours, 30 minutes and 28 seconds closer to your destination. Which means you’ll likely play this entire list four or five more times before you get to where you’re going. But at least these songs aren’t one and done.

One more of my favorites.
During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
Marshall Tucker, Heard it in a love song.
L.A. Woman by the Doors would be my #1 choice.
"I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I don’t care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it." - William S Burroughs
I forgot about that one! Good pick!

Why am I not surprised, LOL!

Having the road be my office this is all I really needed. No one knows how many tapes and CDs of this album I went through. Anything else by anyone else was icing on the cake. .

You guys are missing the best one!
Tough women come from New York, sweet women from Texas, prissy women from Southern California, but we NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WOMEN have fire & ice in our blood. We can ride 4-wheelers, be a princess, throw a left hook, pack heat, hunt with the men, bake a cake, love with passion, and if we have an opinion, you know you're going to hear it!!

That brings back some memories.You guys are missing the best one!
In my 20's I had a used red Porsche, and a lead foot, anger, and little respect for mortality.
It was a blast. Got a lot of speeding tickets.
Too bad that song wasnt around back then.
