What songs make you long to travel or do you enjoy listening to on the road? Here are a couple of mine:

YouTube - NAT KING COLE ROUTE 66

Note: Inspired by Calgary Girl’s post in bbbamI’s dance song thread. She posted Tom Cochrane’s “Life is a Highway”. I love road songs and this is indeed a great one!
