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.
