Last Updated: March 23, 2023 | Written by Matthew Campbell (Editor of My Wedding Songs and wedding DJ)

November 22 is celebrated every year as Go For A Ride Day. You could go ride a horse, a bicycle, a motorcycle, a cowboy, an automobile, or anything else that will just get you outdoors.

These are the best songs to get you pumped up for a road trip through the country whether it be in a car or on a motorcycle.

My list of ride songs is unique as each song listed below has the word ride in the song title. I also cover a few music styles in my top 10 ride songs such as hip-hop, country, dance, soul, and R&B.
