10 Best Road Trip Songs for Country Music Fans

Music to Travel With

Kelly Spies
The next time you take a trip down Route 66, pipe some heel clackin', foot stomping country music into the car and the country music lover in your family will love you forever. Here are my suggestions for the 10 best country music road trip songs to add to your road trip CD collection.

1. Amarillo by Morning by George Strait. How could you go on a road trip without this song? Amarillo by Morning is the quintessential road trip song of all time.

2. Bumper of my SUV - Chely Wright. When it comes to ballads you'll find this one to sing away the miles to.

3. American Soldier - Toby Keith. If you want foot stomping, ass kicking patriotism then Toby Keith is your man and American Soldier is your song.

4. Whiskey Lullaby- Brad Paisley & Allison Krause. This is another beautiful ballad that'll have you crying alligator tears as you fly down the highway. Be sure to have lots of Kleenex ready when you listen to this one.

5. Life is a Highway - Rascal Flatts. What better music to listen to while traveling than one about life and highways? This is a great country hit that'll have you singing along and playing it again and again.

6. Hot Rod Lincoln - The Twangbangers. The Twangbangers is a country rock band with singing guitar players. Bill Kirchen performing Hot Rod Lincoln is a classic that no country music lover should miss, especially while on the road.

7. Wicked Twisted Road - Reckless Kelly. You can't go wrong with Reckless Kelly. Willy Braun has a beautiful voice perfectly suited for country music. Wicked Twisted Road is a song about first loves that'll have you remembering your first love.

8. Little Gasoline - Terri Clark. This is a fantastic country song for long road trips. All you need is a little gasoline and a little Terri Clark to make the time pass by.

9. Shut Up and Drive - Chely Wright. This catchy country tune won't make you shut up but it sure will get you driving. You'll want to watch the speedometer and make sure you aren't putting the pedal to the medal when you hear Chely Wright sing.

10. Wrong Side of Memphis - Trisha Yearwood. This catchy upbeat tune is just the thing for a road trip. It's all about the wide open road and getting where you gotta go. Country music fans will appreciate Trisha Yearwood's powerful voice and southern twang.

    Rascal Flatts, good choice :)

    I second "Uneasy Rider" (tokin on a number and diggin on the radio), but my list would easily be Hank III's "Straight to Hell". Seriously, his band throws down and JAMS, harder than most metal outfits, as far as I'm concerned.

    I'm disappointed you left out the first and best, "Uneasy Rider" by the Charlie Daniels Band. And then there's "Lonesome Fugitive" and "White Line Fever" by Merle Haggard if you want to feel depressed and C.W. McCall's "Convoy" and "Wolf Creek Pass." Actually there are too many to even attempt a top 10 list. It's a good thing you are crazy.
