On The Road Again, by Tom Rush?

I second that nomination. I also second Born to Be Wild, by Steppenwolf, nominated by azimuth, below.

May I put suggest:

Blue Car, by Greg Brown, on his Covenant album.

Highway 61 Revisited by my home town favorite, Duluth’s own Bob Dylan (f.k.a. Robert Zimmerman.)

Goin’ Mobile, by the Who.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned “Weird Al” Yankovic. So let me suggest the following songs.

Song Name ----\> Album

Stop Draggin’ My Car Around ----\> “Weird Al” Yankovic  
Another One Rides The Bus ----\> “Weird Al” Yankovic  
She Drives Like Crazy ----\> UHF Soundtrack  
The Biggest Ball Of Twine In Minnesota----\> UHF Soundtrack  
Traffic Jam ----\> Alapalooza  
Truck Drivin’ Song ----\> Running With Scissors

I also give a second vote to “East Bound And Down” by Jerry Reed. That’s a great song right there, I don’t care who ya are! 🙂
