Songs or Roads and Highways

[deadmoviestar]

I need to put together a pretty lengthy mix of songs about 'the road' and 'traveling' and such for an upcoming event. They need to be PG-rated and not to downbeat. Any ideas?

Jim Croce's "Movin me down the highway" sounds pretty good to me all these years later, or so was my reaction when I heard it yesterday.

I perused my iTunes just for you...

Is Diamonds On My Windshield too downbeat?

You should play trucker and CB songs exclusively. You've got Red Sovine, Red Simpson and all the other Reds. C.W. McCall's Convoy is universally loved.
