Highway Songs, Songs With Highway in the Title

Last Updated: July 19, 2022 | Written by Matthew Campbell

What a great way to celebrate a trip on the road than with the Top 10 Highway Songs. The highway songs can also celebrate famous highways like Route 66. It is probably no surprise that the songs on the list are either rock or country with one song being folk.

One song is on the list twice – once as a rock song and once as a country song. It is even more interesting that the original release was ranked lower than the re-release.

When you think of the highway and think of working the highway, most will think of truckers. No, we don’t mean to make reference to the movie Maximum Overdrive either. Perfect for truckers and highway patrolmen and many more – enjoy our list of highway songs!

    How is Bachman-Turner Overdrive’s Roll on down the highway not in the top 10? It was huge!
