Top 10 Travel Songs by Andy Graham 2010

How can you not include On the Road Again by Willie Nelson...I sang that to myself years ago as I hitched and bussed for years all through Europe and Asia!

Andy,

Great choices for your top ten traveling songs!

Also I really enjoyed reading your new article about the people you met on your flight back to the States.

Enjoy Africa!

Cheers, Tim

You continue to dazzle me with such a post, GREAT! I know and love all the songs and musicians you listed except the Garth Brooks and Christopher Cross songs but then If I heard them maybe I'd recognize the lyrics. Crosby Stills and Nash's Song "Wind on the Water" and Steve Miller's "Take the money and run" could be added. Going back to the States often is a nostalgic experience when so many thoughts from years past pop back into my mind. Have FUN and keep UP with the positive energy. I probably won't be back to the USA mainland until 2012 when heading for latin and South America after 10 years away.

I would have to add "Ramble On" by Led Zeppelin for my all time fave travel song.

Thanks,

FREEBIRD, GIVE ME 3 STEPS AND HIGHWAY 41 AINT BAD EITHER.

I had the song Pyaar Ki Duniya by Lucky Ali, an Indian artist, running through my head on buses and trains in India. It has that sort of rolling tempo that American country songs about trains have. Also, it has some traditional Indian percussion and instruments behind a rock / pop melody.

It is number 7 on the album AKS. Click on track 7 (Pyaar Ki Duniya) on the following link and it should play on your browser. The website didn't seem to harm my computer with ads, either.

Hmmm Chuck, I am not sure I can relate to this song, sort of missing all the Alpha Male aspects of life I thrive on.... But, it for sure could be the Travel song of Thailand, which in my opinion is become the sister to California. Plus Pataya and San Francisco have so much in common.

Thanks for the creative thoughts Chuck.

Johnny Cash is too Domestic for me, but at least trying.

Great choice of songs... but why no Slipknot ??? !!!

Great songs but also past there sell by date. (Although they still sell well)

For top travel songs, you've got to add Willie Nelson's "On the Road Again." Personal favorite. Great list. Thanks for sharing!

Roll on Down the Highway - Bachman Turner Overdrive

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=st80MOVoi4M

We rented a truck and a semi to go
Travel down the long and winding road
Look on the map I think we've been here before,
Close the doors let's roll once more.

Cop on the corner, look he's startin' to write
I don't need no ticket so I screamed out of sight,
Drove so fast that my eyes can't see,
Look in the mirror is he still followin' me?

Let it roll down the highway
Let it roll down the highway,
Roll, roll.

Look at the sign, we're in the wrong place
Come on boys, let's get ready to race
454 coming over the hill
The man on patrol, is going to give us a bill.

The time's real short, you know the distance is long
I'd rather have a jet but it's not in the song
Climb back in the cab, cross your fingers for luck
We gotta keep movie' if we're going to make a buck.

Let it roll down the highway, . . .

Southbound Again - Dire Straits

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rztpwexog30

Southbound again
I don't know if I'm going or leaving home
Southbound again
I don't know if I'm going or leaving home

Boy got to be moving
Seems like the boy is bound to roam

Every single time
I roll across the rolling River Tyne
Every single time
I roll across the rolling River Tyne

I get the same old feeling
Every time I'm moving down the line

Southbound again
last night I felt like crying
Southbound again
last night I felt like crying

Right now I'm sick of living
But I'm going to keep on trying
