30 Road Trip Hindi Songs to Ad in Your Travel Playlist

We went ahead and made the complete list on Spotify for you here - Holidify's Road Trip Playlist .

1. Yunhi Chala Chal (Swades)

If you're treading along the lesser travelled roads of India, make sure you have this song on your playlist to keep your spirits up when you are squashed in a bus full of locals. Bonus fun if you can find a 'baba' to sing along on the trip.

2. Dil Chahta Hai (Title Track)

It's hard to leave this one of the list. Farhan Akhtar's 2001 debut film is when travel took a front seat in a Bollywood film than just as a backdrop to a scene. Dil Chahta Hai in our opinion will always remain the  ultimate hindi travel song for road trips, especially if during from Mumbai to Goa through the Konkan coast, where this song was shot.

3. Khwabon Ke Parindey (ZNMD)

Exactly ten years later, Farhan Akhtar's sister Zoya comes out with an extension of the road trip  vibe movie, only this time on a much larger scale. As a result, we have a film that not only has travel as the central theme but inspires you to travel . Haven't you all tried waving your hand against the wind, as Hrithik did?

4. Tanha Dil (Shaan)

5. Suhana Safar Aur Ye (Madhumati)

There is a reason why 'old is gold', it's because of classics like this song. From the 1958 movie Madhumati, picturized on Dilip Kumar and Vyjantimala, the tune is so melodious you can't help but hum along with it - A must add on your list of road trip songs.

6. Hum Jo Chalne Lage (Jab We Met)

7. Zindagi Ek Safar Hai Suhana (Andaaz)

8. Yeh Dil Na Hota Bechara (Jewel Thief)

Another of Kishore Kumar's best songs, add to that the evergreen Dev Anand's classic strut and you can't help but tap your feet to tunes of S.D. Burman's music while taking in the scenic beauty of the trip. We wholeheartedly approve that this song be added to the greatest list of best hindi travel songs ever.

9. Aaj Kal Zindagi (Wake up Sid)

Whether you're trying to scale the Mt. Everest or take a plunge in the Arabian Sea, this feel-good song is all the pep talk you need. From the movie Wake up Sid, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy's beautiful composition!

10. Ilahi (YJHD)

Admit it, you wished for Bunny aka Kabir aka Ranbir's life in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. You repeated this dialogue, " Main udna chahta hoon, daudna chahta hoon, girna bhi chahta hoon bus rukhna nahi chahta" , to anyone who asked you why you want to travel !

11. Patakha Guddi (Highway)

This song from Highway won everyone's heart with its catchy lyrics and music and awesome video showing an actual road-trip ! Put on your headphones, turn up the volume and take a lift on the back of a truck for the best experience.

13. Musafir Hoon Yaaron

14.    Hai Apna Dil Toh Awara - Solva Saal

One of the best songs to bounce to, this number so aptly reverberates with the ethos of our generation, that it is impossible to not be in love with. All the more so when we have our travelling boots on! It is surely one of the best Hindi travel songs from the bygone era.

15. Kabira (Ye Jawani Hai Deewani)

Bunny was pretty nomadic, and boy wasn't his life awesome! Kabira is perfect for when you're leaving a tiny part of your heart in a new place and are dealing with all the blues of separation.

You can also check out this  Playlist of English Travel Songs

16.  Azaadiyan (Udaan)

Strict mucchhadd  dad, cute son, a cuter younger son, and a lovely song all about freedom. The travel playlist is just incomplete without this contemporary classic from Bollywood.

17.  Oh Gujaria (Queen)

Free, fun and lively, Gujariya from Queen is one of those songs that will make your head bounce back and let you soak in the joy of the lovely beats! What's more, it celebrates your aawaarapan ! Perfect road-trip song; isn't it?

18. Chhod Aaye Hum Wo Galiyaan (Maachis)

19. Kyon (Barfi)

20. Dekha Hai Aisa Bhi - Lucky Ali

A waylaid breeze, a road trip, and this blasting in your car? Isn't that the mantra for a great holiday! Last I heard, Lucky Ali was listed as a community favourite among us. We're sure you shall like the guy too!

21. Chala Jaata Hoon Kisi Ki Dhun Mein (Mere Jeevan Saathi)

22. Hairat (Anjaana Anjaani)

23. Safarnama (Tamasha)

24. Banjarey (Fugly)

25. Chota Sa Fasana (Karwaan)

26. Phid Se Ud Chala (Rockstar)

27. Journey Song (Piku)

28. Sooraj Dooba Hain (Roy)

29. Maeri - Euphoria

30. Udd Gaye (Bacardi House Party Sessions) - Ritviz

Listening to music while traveling is a must! It just makes things better. But sometimes I love to listen to the nature which is also nice. But if the road is boring it works!

Oh boy! That’s a huge list! I like Chogada! Haven’t heard most of these songs. I remember once when we went on a picnic from our building – hired two buses and set off – Sheila ki jawaani was popular then and everyone went crazy dancing to it. Great fun! Wonder when we’ll go on a road trip in the current scenario!

Wao, this is some amazing playlist; love almost all the fun songs listed In it. And reading your blog post has left me wanting to go one such trip soon.

Tripping on Old Hindi Road Trip Songs

road trip songs hindi list

However much we might like to listen to fast beats and loud music on million-watt speakers inside our cars, when it comes to long distance road trips, the vote goes to soothing music with meaningful lyrics that calm the nerves and enhances the joy of driving. Ask commercial drivers. They invariably turn to old film songs – whether Hindi or other regional languages, depending upon which part of the country you are in. Talking of long road trips and film music in the same breath brought to mind Scout My Trip and I thought, ‘why not make a post featuring some old Hindi road trip songs ?’

I have picked some of my favourite Hindi road trip songs from the 1940s to the late 80s , which were super hits in their time (even the oldest song in the list). My criteria were that the song should feature road trips and the actors should be on wheels.

In recent years there have been many road trip movies and songs and I found many playlists on YouTube that featured these. I decided to skip these because they are all fresh in everyone’s memories.

I am sure all the songs compiled by me will grow on you and make you hum along or tap your feet if you were to listen to them even a couple of times. And oh! I would advise you to suspend your disbelief which watching some of them, as the picturization can be completely absurd as to be hilarious. But I guess those of my generation loved the songs too much to notice all that! ? I am sure the songs will grow on you and make you hum along or tap your feet if you were to listen to them even a couple of times.

On to the road trip songs and the wheels (the actors) that make it possible! You can also download this playlist here

Hire A Scout

When you’re riding a Motorbike

I am told that motorbikes are a wonderful way to see the country and experience the local culture while communing with Nature. So, shall we start with the great mobike-with-sidecar song of Jai-Veeru , as they travel to Gabbar-land in the super-duper hit film Sholay ? Be sure not to do all the stunts that this crazy duo does – and all without helmets (hmmmph…) or you wouldn’t know where you are going!

Anyway, it had been a smashing hit of the 70s and continues to thrill listeners till date. Music is by the inimitable R.D.Burman and I would rate it right on top amongst all the Hindi road trip songs when on a motorbike!

The Hindi road trip song you must play when on a Bullock-cart

Till late into the 20 th century, bullock-carts were used for long-distance travels. It can be a little hard on the back, especially for city folk used to cushiest shock-absorbers, but the tinkling bells of the bullocks, the gentle swaying of the cart in rhythm with their movement, and the rolling rustic landscape can make it a memorable ride. I have travelled in one in the 70s, albeit for a short distance . It was an enjoyable ride, partly because it was a novel experience for me.

Just listen to this lilting song, with its wonderful lyrics and melody uncluttered by loud orchestration. The bells of the bullocks and wheels turning are the only palpable sounds adding to the rustic charm of the tune, even as the voice of Manna Dey soothes and calms the nerves so it makes it to the Hindi road trip songs list one must play if they ever find themselves on a bullock cart!

If this is the first time you are listening to this one, I guarantee that it won’t be the last or the only time. Music is by the great music director Vasant Desai .

What you must play when on a fast paced  bullock-cart

This is another of the bullock-cart songs that must find a place in this post. It has a whole caravan of bullock-carts , not just a lone one. It is in stark contrast to the above song in terms of beats, pace, and tone. I love this rollicking number from Caravan featuring the Jumping Jack Jeetendra and Aruna Irani – for its sheer exuberance. The foot-tapping music by R.D.Burman makes it worth saving for a long ride.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKcFP-vghF0

To keep you going when you’re on a  Bicycle road trip

Movies of the 50s and 60s and even 70s had some great bicycle songs. Shubha Khote, (the Principal in the sitcom Zaban Sambhalke, remember her?) was a champion cyclist and so movies featuring her during her early years had at least one mandatory cycling sequence. Listen to this ebullient song from Anari featuring Raj Kapoor and Nutan and of course Shubha Khote. Tell me, wouldn’t this be a lovely song to play on your next road trip ? Or maybe even sing? Music is by the great music director duo Shankar-Jaikishan .

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKZYniG-4wk

When road tripping in a  Car

There is one rule where four-wheelers in old Hindi movies are concerned – when the men drive alone, it is almost always in a jeep – it is open and rugged. And mind you, these were not your ordinary Mahindra jeeps used by the police, but swanky imported ones. When there is a girl in the scene, then it had to be a car – imported, of course, with roll-down top. If the movie is sufficiently old (B/W), and the singers are inside the car, then you can be sure that it would be stationary, with the scenery behind it moving. The actors would be bouncing in their seats to simulate the movements of a running car! But the song would be so beautiful that all these silly details never bothered us.

This song from the 70s movie Safar has one such imported car (open of course), with Feroze Khan and Sharmila Tagore going on a long drive along winding mountain roads . Music is by Kalyanji-Anandji .

When you decide to go #AageSeRight on a  Tonga / Ghoda-Gadi

There were not many cars on Indian roads till the last quarter of the 20 th century, and so other means of transport were widely used in movies. For instance, there were ghoda-gadis and songs to go along. In fact, several ghoda-gadi songs became superhits mainly due to the clop-clop beats of the horses’ hooves. I could post a dozen of them off-hand, but I am trying to post only those that look like long-distance rides. And that gave me the chance to post a B/W song of my favourite singer, Talat Mahmood!

It was a great hit of the time and many of you might have heard it too. Music is by Salil Chaudhary and the movie is Ek Gaon ki Kahani . In keeping with the title, the tonga meanders through the rustic landscape as the protagonist goes to the village where he has been appointed the doctor. (I know because I watched this silly movie for all the lovely songs in it).

When you start in a  car but end up in a bullock-cart

All those who go on road trips, do get your car serviced properly, else you might end up like this gentleman! He was lucky enough to find a bail-gadi to tow him through the jungle paths !

It might be hard for you to believe, but I love this song! I had not seen the video when I had heard the song first and for many years after that. But seeing the video only made me smile indulgently at the picturization and it didn’t take away my love for the song one bit. (I did manage to sneak in one of the old, old songs, he he he ?)

The song is from the 1948 movie Anokhi Ada . The heroine is Saira Banu’s mother Naseem Banu and the hero is Surendra. Music is by the great Naushad .

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKWNkL4guR4

When on Roller-skates (?)

Why not? I told you I would be tweaking this post, didn’t I? And roller-skates have wheels, don’t they? So what if they are worn by the singers who are falling, picking themselves up and having a whale of a time on their roller-skates? The superhit song is from Seeta aur Geeta and once again the music director is R.D.Burman .

Hindi road trip song when on a  3-wheeler contraption

This is a completely crazy contraption driven by the then famous jodi of Jai and Veeru rechristened as Ram-Balram for the movie by the same name. It goes through giant water pipes and even rides on a ferry! As I said, leave behind your credulity as you watch this one. There is a scene where the couple lifts the car and walk, and you can see it is just a shell – no driving wheel or seats inside it! In the next scene, they are all back as they begin driving again!

The music directors are Lakshmikant-Pyarelal , another hit jodi from that time.

When you’re living it up in a  Jeep

This one bears out my observation that when male actors drove alone, they did so in a jeep. In this one from Jhuk Gaya Aasman , a jeep-bound Rajendra Kumar is serenading a – hold your breath – a plane-bound Saira Banu. Incredibly she is able to see (and hear?) him as the car races with the plane. I guess you’d argue that it was way back when probably plane flew at lower altitudes and even moved slower than now ?

The superhit music was provided by Shankar-Jaikishan .

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exD5okdopWc

When you’re in a beat up station wagon

Beat up vehicle drives can be long and tedious, but we have many songs featuring trucks which are quite lively. This one from Tezaab , Madhuri Dixit’s debut film, is a favourite for its soothing and melodious tune. The group of friends (?) are having a harmonious night ride. The whistling adds to the charm of the song. The music is composed by Lakshmikant-Pyarelal .

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4FmY6tuCcs

If you’re ever in a  Truck (Hopefully not getting kidnapped)

This one is by that legendary lonely trucker and obviously having it tough, driving alone for long periods on lonely stretches. Even the picturesque locales of mountains and valleys apparently are not able to enthuse him and he is forced to find solace in memories. Sanjeev Kumar is the lonely trucker in this song from Namkeen .

Excellent lyrics by Gulzar and pleasing music by R.D.Burman   make this a memorable addition to the list.

Hindi road trip song you must play when on a  Bus

I guess I have to feature a bus song and what can be better than this one from Bombay to Goa ? Long distance bus travel can be tedious or enjoyable depending upon the company one finds on the trip. This bus-load of passengers is clearly having a great time, singing to the beats of R.D.Burman’s music . Wonder how Amitabh Bachhan finds the headspace to frolic around though!

Finally, I want to share a Johny Walker song, which means it necessarily has to be a comedy song and a superhit to boot. God forbid that you have to face all the car troubles these blokes face with theirs! Go road-tripping with friends, just in case!

And with this, I have added another 50s B/W song!! This one is from Taxi Driver and has music by S.D. Burman .

Hope you enjoy all my favourite Hindi travel songs, give or take a couple. Try to guess the locales of the songs, and don’t cheat by reading up on them, ok? You could also check out this post about road trip rock songs  , but only after you leave a comment on this blog post!

I am so glad you liked them all, Tulika. It was tough for me to stop myself from posting more B/W songs though. One more song which should have been here is Chala Jata Hoon from Hathi mere sathi. I was afraid it would become too long a playlist for one post, so didn’t post it. Chahe koi is indeed a laugh riot, isn’t it?

Top 30 Bollywood Travel Songs for Your Next Road Trip

Music providers including YouTube and Spotify work tirelessly to accumulate the best songs for you for every occasion and mood. But they usually are tailored to your tastes, and not everyone may enjoy them, especially on a group trip.

To formulate an appropriate playlist, filled with meaningful and even some guilty pleasure songs, we have prepared a list of 20 travel songs from Bollywood which you should consider adding to your travel playlist.

Best Travel Songs for Bollywood Lovers

This is the list of Bollywood Travel Songs that you can enjoy during your travel to anywhere, especially road trips.

1. Dil Chahta Hai- Title Track

Ever since its release in 2001, Dil Chahta Hai has been a staple movie for the 90s youth. Even if this 3-hour long movie isn’t as popular now as it was earlier, the soundtrack and especially this title track remains untouched and evergreen. A perfect match on rides with your gang.

2. Khaabon Ke Parindey, ZNMD

Rarely have we encountered both soulful and liberating song like this one, and coming from a movie like Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, it seems even more fitting to be on the list for journey songs. This soothing track will have you lost in the clouds and the landscape in your journey, and it is completely understandable if you feel like playing it again right after it finishes.

3. Ilahi, Ye Jawani Hai Deewani

Arguably the Dil Chahta Hai for a generation that came next, Ye Jawani Hai Deewani and its entire soundtrack has found a place in the heart and minds of everyone who dreams of traveling and pursuing their dream-like Ranbir Kapoor’s character does. This cheerful song, backed with vocals by Arjit Singh, is a relaxing one to groove to on your way to places like Manali maybe.

4. Chala Jaata Hoon, Mere Jeevan Saathi

A retro song is a surprise being so high on the list, but there’s a reason such songs are called evergreen. The jolly tone of the song and the lively fun-filled voice of Kishore Kumar are perfect for a ride on a sunny day among the hills.

5. Pataka Kuddi, Highway

Other than the words, AR Rahman’s groovy score and Nooran Sister’s commanding vocals are enough for anyone to enjoy this song. The context of the movie it comes from, where a girl finds liberation on a journey after being abducted, itself is liberating during travels and so is the song’s video.

6. Sooraj Dooba Hai, Roy

Lying on the intersection of party songs and groovy songs for car rides, this song has found a place on both of these playlists as an absolute essential. One example out of many where the movie comes nowhere near as good as the soundtrack, Sooraj Dooba Hai is a staple for, well, when the sunsets.

7. Ye Dil Na Hota Bechara, Jewel Thief

Another evergreen classic was sung by Kishore Kumar to Dev Anand’s mesmerizing bachelor. You will find yourself humming to the tune and the words after listening to it, even if you’re traveling alone.

8. Zindagi Ek Safar Hai Suhana, Andaaz

The words to this song suggest themselves be played on a ‘Safar’ and advice you to enjoy every moment as it comes. What better to heighten your spirits and embrace the positive vibes.

9. Yun Hi Chala Chal Rahi, Swades

Long drives can become too long at some point, but with good a playlist and clear roads, everything around you, like this song suggests, can become beautiful. Another AR Rahman composition on this list, the song is grounded with the home country in its lyrics and a cool fusion with the music.

10. Dil Dhadakne Do, ZNMD

Probably the most rebellious song from this movie, Farhan Akhtar really reaches for the soul with his strong vocals and brings out the adventurous spirit in you. Just like this movie’s entire soundtrack, this song too will never get too old.

11. Roobaro, Rang De Basanti

Sure, Masti Ki Paathshala was the most popular song from the movie, but the strangely elevated tune of Roobaro is something that strikes the most when you’re on the move. Especially for late-night drives, this song is meant for playing out loud.

12. Hum Jo Chalne Lage, Jab We Met

Once the excitement has settled, what better than a soothing tune to groove to. This song gives a calm feeling, mainly owing to Shaan’s vocals, and a sense of togetherness especially when traveling with friends.

13. Tanha Dil Tanha Safar

Back in time, Shaan’s voice did a number on the listeners and took them on journeys in their own minds. Even if the lyrics suggest otherwise, it is a great song to play on solo adventures and indulges you in discovering yourself on the trip.

14. Chodd Aaye Hum Wo Galiya, Maachis

Just like Tanha Dil, this song too will make you feel a strange mix of liberating emotions like it has been for two decades. Solo travels away from home can be overwhelming and while this song might not provide comfort, it certainly empowers you.

15. Kyon, Barfi

If soul-heavy and party songs aren’t your things while traveling, Barfi’s quaint soundtrack can accompany you with soothing and light-hearted songs. Sung by the melodious Papon, Kyon is a calm song with innocent lyrics about traveling on carefree.

16. Musafir Hoon Yaaro

The two primary lines of this song are probably the most sung compared to all others on this list. This cultural icon of a song and the image of the guy traveling on and on alone along beaten down paths has become a signature image of a ‘Musafir’. One can never think of Hindi songs about travel without this tune popping up at any time.

17. O Gujariya, Queen

Probably the wackiest and off-beat (not literally) song on the list, the context of the song in the movie too brings out the adventurous and daring spirit in you. It certainly is more of a party song, but a sing-a-long with your friends while on the road can make it a semi-party too.

18. Rang De Basanti, Rang De Basanti

Return to your desi roots with the title track from Aamir Khan’s runaway hit Rang De Basanti. AR Rahman reached out to indulging Punjabi music and cultural roots in making this contagiously groovy hit song.

19. Rock On, Rock On!

Farhan Akhtar makes another appearance on this list with his catchy rock song from his debut 2008 film Rock On!. While Socha Hai remains a cult icon with its distinct and catchy lyrics, the title track remains iconic and motivating too for someone aiming to pursue something. Arguably nostalgic for some listeners, following up with Socha Hai soon also seems appropriate.

20. Aaj Kal Zindagi, Wake Up Sid

While the movie offers a contemporary story about a guy figuring out college and works life, this particular song and its lyrics are also well-suited for a travel playlist. Just from the first verse in Shankar Mahadevan’s signature voice can give a feeling of independence and motivation for young travelers and especially the lone adventurers.

21. Zindagi Do Pal Ki

22. Chaiyya Chaiyya

23. Safarnama

24. Musafir Hun Yaaron

25. Gazab Ka Hai Ye Din

26. Chala Jata Hoon 

27. Banjarey

29. Sooraj Dooba Hain

30. Patakha Guddi

The list is certainly not in order for playing since it depends on what kind of atmosphere you wish to set. Nevertheless, playing classic evergreens as the first song to start off your trip may not be as welcomed by your peers.

I Hope, these best Bollywood Travel Songs do magic on your travel journey.

7 Essential Hindi Road Trip Songs Everyone Should Have In Their Playlist

  • Facebook Messenger

You can tell a lot about a person by seeing the songs in their playlist.

Everyone has a different taste in music. Some love Kishore Kumar and some Badshah, some love “Hoshwalon Ko Khabar Kya” and some love “Hookah Bar”, some… wait, I think you got what I’m trying to say in here in this must-have travel Hindi road trip songs list.

Now imagine, you’re solo-traveling to Shimla on a bus. You’re sitting on the window seat, from where the visuals/scenery is so beautiful, so surreal that you don’t even want to blink your eyes for a second.

But something is missing…

To add a feather to your hat, you wear your earphones and play your playlist on the mobile. But the question is, doesn’t matter what music taste you have, are you enjoying your journey?

It’s good if you are but if not, then here are 7 essential and best Hindi road trip songs that I think everyone should have in their playlist:

  • Aao Milon Chalen
  • Phir Se Ud Chala
  • Khaabon Ke Parindey

Let’s dive into each of these songs a bit deeper. Here we go :

1. Safarnama – Tamasha

Lucky Ali ko jitna praise karo utna kam hai.

All of his songs always set up our mood and leave us with a ton of positive vibes. The same goes for this song!

Put on your earphones while you’re traveling, sitting on a window seat, and play this song. You won’t only feel energetic and excited for the rest of your trip but also start contemplating your journey.

And hey, don’t forget to lip-sync the song with Lucky Ali’s “hmmmmm” to feel the feels!

2. Qaafirana – Kedarnath

Hearing the very first line of this Amit Trivedi’s gem, “ In Vaadiyo Me… ” makes you get lost in the beautiful valley of Kedarnath.

Also, apart from making you drool to travel and have a trip to Kedarnath, this song will make you feel terrifically good on your journey.

3. Aao Milon Chalen – Jab We Met

Sung by Shaan, this song tells you to keep traveling!

Traveling without any plan. Trying everything on the way. Roaming around the city. Talking with the locals. Stealing someone’s bicycle and then returning it. Basically, feeling every moment of the journey.

It depicts, “ Part of Journey is the End ” and it for sure give us travel goals.

4. Phir Se Ud Chala – Rockstar

Now, no one can ever deny this one!

This is a journey based song and this must be in everyone’s playlist while traveling.

Just imagine being on a road surrounded by mountains and fog. You can see the snow falling from your car’s window and then, you hear these magical lines, “ Door Door Log Baag Meelon Door Yeh Vaadiyan… “

Isn’t it perfect to just get lost in the beauty of those mountains?

So, I highly recommend this hindi song for a road trip in the hilly areas or mountains.

It’s something I can listen to on loop for my whole life, without getting bored!

5. Iktara – Wake Up Sid

This isn’t a travel song but the vibes this song has will, just like Sid (Ranbir’s character in the movie) makes you want to roam around the streets and beaches of Mumbai.

Clicking beautiful pictures of everything around you and… I just find myself lost in my road trip journey while listening to this song.

6. Khaabon Ke Parindey – ZNMD

What Hrithik felt in this song, I want to feel the same!

Fall in love with everything I see. Enjoy the smell of mud. Love everything around me. Feel like I’m in fairytale land. Have no regrets in life. No tension of work.

I just want to travel around like there’s some magic in the air. And never want that trip to end.

It’s a perfect perfect hindi driving song that one can ask for.

“Fikrein Jo Thi, Peeche Reh Gayi Nikle Unse Aage Hum”

7. Ilahi – YJHD

Do I even have to say anything about this song? Ranbir, no doubt, since his debut, has been inspiring us to travel.

Any list of Bollywood travel songs is incomplete without “ Ilahi “.

This song and movie ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ gave most of us a goal to find a job that pays for traveling to new cities, countries, world every month. It literally was(is) my dream.

“Kal Pe Sawaal Hai, Jeena Filhaal Hai”

So, these are the best Hindi road trip songs (my favorite ones) that I think everyone should have in their playlist but I’m sure, as each and every one of us has a different taste in music, there are tons of such must-haves Hindi travel songs out there.

Updated On: March 16, 2023

road trip songs hindi list

Our list of the best road trip songs from the classics to today. We do a lot of road trips have rounded up the best driving songs to help you pass the time.

Nothing makes driving better than a good road trip playlist. And we’ve compiled the ultimate road trip playlist for your next overland adventure.

Table of Contents

The Best Road Trip Songs

1. sympathy for the devil by the rolling stones.

number one road trip song | sympathy for the devil

If you are looking for a song to drive to with a lot of groove, Sympathy for the Devil is just the ticket. We’ve been lucky enough to see the Rolling Stones in concert three times. Dave even met the band way back in 2003 when he shot a media blitz they did in Toronto.

This is by far our favorite Rolling Stones song for a road trip . Even if we have to get out of the car soon, we’ll leave the engine running until the final chord is played!

Get it on Amazon for just $1.29 / Buy the  Rolling Stones Greatest Hits  on Amazon

2. Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd

best road trip songs | sweet home alabama

I didn’t know a lot about Lynyrd Skynyrd until I watched the documentary Muscle Shoals . It’s a music biography about one of the most innovative sound studios of the 60s featuring the Rolling Stones and Lynard Skynyrd.

But I have always known the song Sweet Home Alabama, and there is something about this song’s beat that make it the perfect driving song.

In Sweet Home Alabama, there’s a stanza saying: “ Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers And they’ve been known to pick a song or two “

Watching Muscle Shoals makes us want to get in the car and drive to Alabama to see the famous studio for ourselves!

Purchase Sweet Home Alabama for $1.29

3. Little Red Corvette By Prince

songs to. drive to - little red corvette

One of the best driving songs ever is Little Red Corvette by Prince. Who wouldn’t want to be driving a red corvette through the streets. The song is filled with metaphors, but when I sing it, I just think about driving.

It is sad to see another legend lost, but his music lives on. Buy Little Red Corvette $1.29

Pick up a copy of  Prince’s Greatest Hits , you won’t be disappointed. But there are some tributes happening on Spotify now.

4. Another One Bites the Dust by Queen

the best song to drive to | another one bites the dust

Queen is my ultimate favourite band. Metallica is Dave’s. I could have just said, “ buy Queen’s greatest hits and you’ll have the perfect Road Trip playlist”.

However, I can only choose one, and if you want a song that picks you up when you’re feeling a little groggy on the road, Another One Bites the Dust does the trick. Man, I love the bass in this song.

If you watch the Queen Documentary on the  BBC , you’ll learn that the Bass Player, John Deacon, actually wrote some of Queen’s biggest anthems, like this one, You’re my Best Friend and I Want to Break Free.

Get Another One Bites the Dust on Amazon just $1.29 / Watch Bohemian Rapsody

5. Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson Featuring Bruno Mars

uptown funk | road tripping songs

While spending a summer in Spain and driving around  Costa Brava this Mark Ronson/Bruno Mars tune was was our go-to road trip song. We called it the song of summer and whenever it came on, we’d jive and jam in the car.

Dave and I love to sing during a road trip and this one makes you want to wail at the top of your lungs. “We’re gonna Uptown Funk you Up!”

Download Up Town Funk on Amazon 

6. Home for a Rest by Spirit of the West

road songs | californication

This roadtrip song by Canada’s Spirit of the West always makes me want to go to London, England, and hang out in the pubs. I think about all the travels we have done, and when we do come home, we really do need a rest. 

Travel  is exhausting and when you add pub crawling to the mix, it is doubly exhausting. Spirit of the West captured the spirit of travel beautifully with this perfect driving song.

“ You’ll have to excuse me I’m not at my best, I’ve Been Gone for a Month, I’ve Been Drunk Since I left. These so called vacations will soon be my death, I’m so sick from the Drink, I need home for a rest …”

Download now on Amazon

7. Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers

driving songs | californication

How does one choose a favourite Red Hot Chili Pepper’s song? They have so many great albums. But Californication is the perfect tune for a road trip. Heck, even the video is all about driving.

I used to say, “How can anyone not name Red Hot Chili Peppers as one of the greatest bands of all time?” I mean, everything is perfection. Anthony Kiedis is a poet, Flea is a master on the bass, and John Frusciante creates the most memorable and intricate guitar riffs out there today. Plus, how can you forget Chad Smith on drums. He’s quiet and unassuming in real life, just like his music: Subtle and creative. Plus, he looks exactly like Will Ferrel.

You’ve got to read  Scar Tissue  by Anthony Kiedis – this book will blow your mind about everything he and the band have gone through. Buy the album  Californication . The entire disc is perfection.

8. 500 Miles by The Proclaimers

one of the best road trips songs | 500 miles

There’s nothing really amazing musically about this song by the  Scottish  Band, the Proclaimers, but when it comes to road trip music, it has the perfect beat. When comes up on the playlist, everyone stops to sing along. This song was made to be a song to drive to!

It’s one of those songs that you can’t help but love. Even if you hate it! I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) must be included on your Road Trips Songs playlist, it would be criminal to leave it out. Check out our guide to the North Coast 500

Buy it on Amazon for $1.29 / Rent  Benny and Joon where the song was featured

9. Take it Easy by The Eagles

road trip music | all of hotel california

Remember when Elaine’s boyfriend refused to speak to anyone when Desperado came on the radio during a classic  Seinfeld episode ? When it comes to the Eagles,  Hotel California  is our song. But when it comes to road trip songs by The Eagles, Take it Easy is Number one. See a great California Road Trip at 17 Mile Drive in Monterey

“ Well I’m a runnin’ down the road trying to loosen my load I’ve got seven women on my mind”

This song was meant for driving. It’s seriously all a bout driving.

If you happen to be going on an Arizona Road Trip, be sure to stop on the corner of Winslow Arizona like in the lyrics “ Well, I’m a standin’ on a corner in Winslow, Arizona . Such a fine sight to see .”

Don’t speak to me, don’t even look at me when Hotel California comes on because I am going to sing along and play air guitar to that classic solo.

Get it now on Amazon / Get the  Hell Freezes Over Tour  where the Eagles come together live.

10. Running on Empty by Jackson Browne

best song for a road trip | carry on my wayward son

I bet you didn’t know that Jackson Browne played a huge role in making the Eagles famous. He was roommates with Glen Frey and Don Henley at one point.

Heck, for the longest time when I was a kid, I thought Running on Empty was performed by the Eagles. They have similar sounds because Jackson Browne actually co-wrote a lot of the Eagles songs. How do we know all this? We watched the Eagles documentary.

Anyway, back to the song. Running on Empty is a road trip song, period. Come on, the album cover has a road on it!

Buy Running on Empty on Amazon / Rent the movie  The Eagles History  to see the role Jackson Brown played in their success.

11. Paradise by the Dashboard Light by Meatloaf

meatloaf | great road trip music

Who doesn’t love Meatloaf? Paradise by the Dashboard Light was the song of the 70s. There are so many layers to this song and right from that first guitar lick, you can’t help but get ready to start singing along in the car.

Dave and I love it when it breaks into a duet and we sing back and forth. We start screaming until our vocal chords nearly break. After that song, you almost have to pull over for a break. It’s that intense. For us, it’s one of the most fun songs to drive to on our playlist.

Get the album  Bat Out of Hell . Every song is great.

A great one day drive that we highly recommend is the  Hana Highway on Maui.  Make sure you have your road trip songs picked out because radio service in limited. 

12. Take the Money and Run by Steve Miller Band

steve miller band for road trips

“T his here’s the story ’bout Billy Joe and Bobby Sue “.

The Steve Miller Band’s Songs were made to sing along to. Dave and I love to harmonize to their music. It’s just so easy to hear the thirds and fifths. The reason we chose Take the Money and Run is that ” They’re headed down south and they’re still running today .”

We don’t plan on shooting anyone and taking their money, but we do plan on traveling forever. It’s in our blood and even if we do settle down a bit, something tells me we’ll always be on the move. Dave and I moved to  Vancouver  in 1992 and we’re still moving today. Maybe not running, but definitely at a steady pace.

Get Steve Miller’s Take the Money and Run

13. Born to be Wild by Steppenwolf

born to be wild | mos tpopular road tripping song

It’s probably the first and most cliché road trip song that anyone thinks of. Considering the lyrics start with:

“ Get your motor running Head out on the highway .”

So, really any road trip playlist would be remiss by not including it. It’s a good one to get the energy up when hitting the open road.

Add it to the list from Amazon

14. I’ve Been Everywhere by Johnny Cash

johnny cash I've been everywhere

I love this song by the Man in Black. If you are looking for a song to drive to that is challenging to learn, this is it! It’s all about the places he has been crisscrossing through North America on his tour bus.

I originally only had this song in our travel songs playlist, but I realize that not everyone checks out both articles, so I had to bring it over here. You can’t ever leave out Johnny Cash man.

Get motivated on Amazon

15. On the Road Again by Willie Nelson

on the road again | willie nelson

On The Road Again is the quintessential song about road tripping. But, his laid back style of singing will make for a relaxed road trip moment and be sure to keep you within the speed limit. It’s a fitting song for this list because after all “I just can’t wait to get on the road again.”

Buy it now $1.29

16. Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen

born to run bruce springsteen

Everybody loves Bruce Springsteen and Baby we were born to run, is one of the great songs to drive to. This entire song is about driving and running. It’s about getting out of the small town trap and getting to the place you want to be.

The Boss is a great lyricist using car metaphors to tell his story. This driving beat will make you want to get behind your engine and run too.

Buy it on Amazon

17. Graceland by Paul Simon

graceland road trip song paul simon

When Paul Simon’s Graceland came out I went nuts for the rhythms inspired by his trip to Africa. When I went to Kenya for the first time , I was totally blown away that I stayed at the same lodge that he and Carrie Fisher stayed at during that exact trip. But that’s another story.

Graceland is an awesome song that fits with driving through America’s southern states. Who wouldn’t want to take a road trip to Elvis’s Graceland?

Get it now to see what I’m talking about

18. Life is a Highway by Tom Cochrane

life is a highway | songs to drive to

We always love including Canadians. Tom Cochrane’s rock anthem “Life is a Highway” was playing across radio stations throughout the summer that Dave and I met.

We’d drive down the road belting out “ life is a highway, I wanna drive it all night long .” It has a great driving beat and the lyrics are easy to learn. It’s perfect for a road tripping son.

get it on Amazon

19. Love Shack by the B52s

b52s love shack rocking the rong drive

You can’t have a party without The B52s. I’ll never forget seeing them in concert. I had no idea who they were a friend invited me and I’m glad he did.

We arrived at Massey Hall in Toronto where the crowd was filled with people sporting beehive hairdos and wardrobes straight out of Austin Powers.

Once the music started, we rushed the stage and there I stood at the very front listening to the best party tunes I’ve ever heard. When choosing road trip music, be sure to include Love Shack!

Get Love Shack on Amazon

20. Good Vibrations by The Beach Boys

best music for a road trip | beach boys

It was after watching  Love and Mercy  and  The Wrecking Crew  that we realised just what a genius Brian Wilson is. We even had the opportunity to see the Beach Boys live (sans Brian Wilson) at a private party in Orlando a few years ago.

They made a lot of good lighthearted songs like California Girls, Surfin’ USA and Kokomo, but it’s Good Vibrations that really shows the depth and musicality of the band’s genius. This song has the vibe that both Dave and I love for a road trip. I’m pickin’ up Good Vibrations.

Listen now on Amazon

21. Back in Black by ACDC

acdc back in black

You may be thinking “No way, Highway to Hell is the ACDC song that fits in the road trip play list”. You may be correct, but doesn’t Back in Black have an awesome beat. That guitar at the beginning just rocks.

It’s no wonder Marvel’s Iron Man used it as the song for their opening scene as Robert Downey Jr. was driving with a band of army guys (and gal) from his arms dealing display in  Afghanistan .

Ever since then I’ve associated Back in Black with driving. Sure, he was in a Humvee and I’m usually in a mini compact economy car, but hey, I feel tough when that tune is playing.

22. The Way by Fastball

roadtrip  songs | the way fastball

Don’t you ever want to just hit the road without ever knowing the way. That’s what this song is about. One of my favorite lyrics in the song is “an exit to eternal summer slacking, but where were they going without ever knowing the way.” So let’s. go wander the highway while listening to The Way.

23. Lose Yourself by Eminem

great rocking songs for driving | eminem

I once sang this song in  Belize  with the local crime lord. I didn’t know it at the time, but after I got off the karaoke stage, where I was joined by a random man who had a big grin on his face, I was told, he was that man. Woah.

The friends you make when you sing Eminem. But this song rocks. Dave and I saw 8 Mile in the theatre and were totally impressed with Mr. Marshall Mathers’ acting ability.

We promptly bought the soundtrack and learned the lyrics to this song.

It’s one of those songs where, once you learn the lyrics, you never forget them because they are so fast and furious, you fall over yourself trying to say them with him!

Listen to Lose Yourself now / Get the Movie  8 Mile on Amazon Prime

24. Go Your Own Way by Fleetwood Mac

best driving songs | fleetwood mac

A road trip song playlist wouldn’t be complete without Fleetwood Mac and this song has the groove for driving.

“Let’s all sing it together….You can go your own way, Go your own way You can call it another lonely day You can go your own way”

25. See You Again by Wiz Khalifa, Charlie Puth

best driving songs | furious 7

Why this song wasn’t nominated for an Academy Award was beyond me. Everyone was shocked when actor Paul Walker was killed in a car crash. He died during the filming of Furious 7.

I never did see the film, but this song played during his final scene in the movie, which I read all about. It seemed to be a beautiful send off to him and whenever I hear it, it still brings a little tear to my eye.

This is a great song for a road trip and is fitting since it’s the title theme for a movie about fast cars.

Buy this song on Amazon $1.29 / Watch all the  Fast and the Furious Movies  in this Box Set.

26. Jack & Diane by John Mellencamp

best songs for a long drive | jack and dianne

John Cougar was the first musician I ever saw live. My brother and now sister in law brought me to a show at Copps Coliseum in Hamilton and I couldn’t get enough of his music after that.

I loved his rockabilly sound and to this day, the minute those first five chords ring out over the car stereo, I start rockin’. Jack and Diane is probably his best song and is all about two American kids living in the  heartland .

Check it out on Amazon $1.29

27. Drive My Car by The Beatles

driving songs | the beatles

Baby you can drive my car, yes I’m gonna be a star. Have you watch Carpool Karaoke with Paul McCartney and James Corden yet? It is awesome and yes, they do sing the quintessential Beatles road tripping song as they drive around Liverpool checking out Paul’s old haunts.

28. You Oughta Know by Alannis Morisette

road tripping music playlist |. you oughta know

The feminism anthem of the 1990s was written and performed by a Canadian. We owned the album Jagged Little Pill and there isn’t a bad song in the bunch.

But it’s You Oughta Know that is one of the best road trip songs on the album. The staccato speech at the beginning gets you hooked for the driving beats ahead making it one of the best driving songs out there.

“I – Want – you – to – know. That – I’m – happy for you. I – wish – nothing – but – the – best – for – you both.”

Was this sone about Joey from Full House? We’ll never know. But you oughta know

Buy the  album Jagged Little Pill,  it’s a good one!

29. Sweet Child O’Mine by Guns n’ Roses

best music playlist for a road trip | guns n roses

Okay, Dave and I are huge Guns n’ Roses fans. When choosing road trip songs, GnR is right at the top.

We know every word, and both of us immediately stop talking and start singing and playing air guitar. (Or if Dave’s driving, air drumming on the steering wheel.) Guns n’ Roses’ music holds up after all these years and they have many songs made for passing the time on long drives.

Download Sweet Child O’ Mine on Amazon

30. Coming to America by Neil Diamond

neil diamond | best road trip songs

During our cycling road trip through Africa . I had Neil Diamond’s Greatest Hits on my playlist. Whenever I was feeling exhausted or just overwhelmed with the scope of the day’s ride ahead, I’d put on Neil Diamond’s mix of mellow and fun tunes. It was “Coming to America” that picked me up the most. It’s just so motivating.

The driving beat makes you feel that you can do anything. It’s all about traveling far and coming to America. I’m not even American, and it inspires me. This song captures what America used to be to so many people. Let’s hope they get there again.

31. Carry on Wayward Son by Kansas

best song for a road trip | carry on my wayward son

If you are a fan of  Supernatural , (the TV series) you’ll recognize this song from the recaps they do at the beginning of most seasons. This song by Kansas has stood the test of time, not only because of Supernatural, but it was huge during the Guitar Hero days.

When they belt out their harmonies at the beginning followed by the hard drums and guitar solo, you can’t help but bounce to the beat. It’s no wonder this song is featured on Supernatural, Sam and Dean are always driving from town to town in Dean’s 1967 Chevy Impala

32. Hello by Adele

music for a raod trip | adele

Who doesn’t love Adele’s velvet voice? Sure, “Hello” isn’t a fast-paced tune, but it is an excellent road trip song. Why? Because you can howl, scream and holler along.

Turn the stereo up to 11 and belt out those notes along with Adele. Don’t worry, everyone in the car will be singing along, so nobody will hear you scream “ Hello from the outside “.

Buy Hello to Add to your Road Trip Songs playlist $1.29

33. The Nights by Avicii

upbeat road trips songs

The best road trip songs are upbeat and easy to sing to. If you agree with that definition, The Nights is definitely a perfect tune for your playlist.

It’s easy to learn the lyrics and a lot of fun to sing a long with. The song is by the Swedish DJ Avicii, but it feels more  Celtic  to me. It was an awesome tune on our playlist for our road trip through Ireland last year.

You can buy the single on Amazon

34. The Distance by Cake

going the distance | best road trips music

Man, Cake has some great road trip songs. They have a super sense of humour and their music is just simply a lot of fun. I could choose a couple of their songs for our road trip playlist, like Short Skirt Long Jacket or the hilarious Sheep go to Heaven, but Going the Distance is the song that was made for a road trip.

Because that’s in essence what you are doing when driving, right? “You’re going the distance, and you’re going for speed.”

Add Going the Distance to your Road Trip Playlist

35. More Than a Feeling by Boston

more than a feeling boston | road trip music

Lead Singer Brad Delp had one of the best voices in Rock n’ Roll. Dave and I love great vocalists and Boston’s songs were meant to wail to. He could reach the high notes with such clarity and there’s nothing more satisfying when out for a long day on the road than reaching those notes in the car and pretending to be a rock star. This is the song to do that to.

Buy More than a Feeling on Amazon

36. American Pie by Don McLean

classic road tripping music | don mclean

When on a long road trip, there’s nothing better than a really long anthem-like song to come on. The miles seem to just fall away on the road. American Pie is one of those songs. A song that cuts nearly 10 minutes out of your road trip, as you sing along with each verse.

There’s something about knowing all the lyrics of American Pie that makes you feel like you are smart or something. When you know every word, it’s impressive to others. Well, at least Dave and I impress ourselves and that’s all that matters since we’re usually the only two in the car!

37. American Woman by The Guess Who

the guess who American woman

Let’s stay with the American theme and go with this American classic, written by Canadians! When Dave and I got free tickets to see The Guess Who from his friend who ran their lighting, we weren’t sure what to expect. Weren’t these some old guys that sang songs we’ve never heard of? Boy were we wrong.

Burton Cummings’ voice is outstanding and Randy Bachman can make his guitar sing. But you’d also be surprised how many songs you know by the Guess Who. They had hit after hit.

American Woman has been deemed an American Anthem, but what’s funny about it is that the entire song disses on America.

“ I don’t need your war machines, I don’t need your ghetto scenes”. Colored lights may hypnotize Sparkle someone else’s eyes”

38. All About the Bass by Meghan Trainor

female songs for road trips

When I first heard Meghan Trainor’s voice I was hooked. It’s so clear and fun. Have you seen her sing on Jimmy Fallon with the Roots playing kids school instruments as back up? It’s amazing. That’s how you know someone can sing: When they’ve got nothing backing them up but a kazoo and they sound awesome.

This tune is so much fun. We’re also fans of Your Lips Are Movin’ by her as well. Meghan Trainor’s tunes were made for road tripping.

39. Africa by Toto

best songs for traveling in a car | toto

Let’s slow This Road Trip Songs Playlist down a little now. Africa by Toto didn’t mean a lot to me until I went to Africa. They capture it beautifully in the song and it’s so soothing to listen to.

Wild dogs really do cry out in the night and yes,  Kilimanjaro  does rise like Olympus above the Serengeti. When Africa comes on, it makes me want to book a flight to Tanzania or Kenya.

These countries are two of our favorite places in the world and we could go back again and again. But until we do, there’s always Toto there to remind us of how much we love it.

  • One of our favorite road trips where we had the tunes cranked was definitely a drive along the  Cowboy Route in Southern Alberta. 

40. Don’t Stop Believin’ by Journey

don't stop believin' | journey

Journey may have had a resurgence thanks to Glee, but we have always loved them. Open Arms is actually my favourite by them, but it doesn’t exactly fit the bill as one of the best road trip songs of all time. It’s more of a love ballad. We were both huge fans of Separate Ways, but perhaps the synthesizer is a little dated.

Don’t Stop Belivin’ is definitely the Journey song that was made for driving. Heck it’s even about taking a journey. “Just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit . He took the midnight train going anywhere”.

Buy the song on Amazon / Rent the movie  Don’t Stop Believin ‘, it’s so inspiring!

41. I Bet My Life by Imagine Dragons

i bet my life | imagine dragons

Imagine Dragons are quickly becoming one of our favourite bands of the 2000s. They are so versatile, with so many hits you don’t even realise they are the same band. They are the same guys that sing Radioactive, Demons and It’s Time. All songs are so different.

But it’s I Bet My Life that makes us want to bop our heads to the beat. We drove a lot through  Europe  last year and this was one of the big road trip songs for us to listen to.

Buy I Bet My Life for just $1.29

42. Dream On by Aerosmith

aerosmith dream on | songs for road tripping

This song starts off slow and builds to a screeching point with Steven Tyler wailing “ Dream On, Dream On, Dream On, Dream Until Your Dreams Come True! “

You don’t want to be in the car with Dave and I when this song is on. Both of us are yelling at the top of our lungs and banging our heads to the beat. When Dream on comes on the radio, there’s no talking to either of us until the song is over.

Buy  AeroSmith’s Greatest Hits

  • You don’t have to be in a car to appreciate good music. We had our playlist going like made in our Bluetooth helmets during our  tour around Lake Superior  on motorcycles. 

43. Rock Star by Nickelback

don't hate nickleback

Hey, don’t hate on Nickelback okay? Everyone loves to hate this band, and yet they still have tons of top hits and sold out shows. Yes, Chad Kroeger’s hair sucks with his long bleach blond locks and dark roots and his goatee does not fit his face, but Nickleback has some pretty memorable tunes.

I remember listening to them sing live from “The Edge Studios” in Toronto for the first time when they belted out How you Remind Me. That song was their breakout hit, but you gotta listen to Rock Star. The lyrics of this song are hilarious and it was made for singing along to in the car.

Give Rock Star a chance now

44. Hey Ya by Outkast

hey ya outkast is a great song for driving

I love the positive beat of this song. Sure it may or may not be a break up song, I can’t be sure about the lyrics – is it about breaking up or staying together? Who cares, it’s gone a cool vibe.

The video is so much fun and when this tune comes on, you instantly feel good. Andre3000 was named one of the best rappers of all time, and yet it’s this little ditty that we love for a road trip. My Baby don’t mess around.

Hey Ya on Amazon

45. Edge of Seventeen by Stevie Nicks

stevie nicks | edge of seventeen

The ultimate female rock voice is Stevie Nicks. This has been one of my favourite songs for years. I could only wish that I had a Rock n Roll voice. Mine was stuck in the pop world, but that didn’t mean that I didn’t daydream about rocking it like Stevie on the big stage one day.

This rock song is great for anyone.  Even Dave rocks out to it when I turn it on. It may have never made it to the top 10 when it was released in 1981, but this is the most memorable of all her songs and over time has gained more fame and glory than it had during its original release.

Give it a shot and listen to it!

46. I Wanna Be Sedated by The Ramones

upbeat road tripping songs

This is the easiest song to sing along to. It repeats and repeats but the beat keeps on going. When we’re on a super long road trip, we agree, Twenty, Twenty, Twenty-Fours hours to go! I wanna be sedated. Get the Ramones on your road trip playlist now. They’ll have you Ba ba baba, baba ba baba along all night long!

Purchase I Wanna Be Sedated

One of our latest road trip adventures took us to  Fraser Island in Australia . We spent 3 days driving through the sand dunes and scenery of this amazing destination. 

47. Redemption Song by Bob Marley

bob marley

Bob Marley is another artist where we could just put on his greatest hits and make that a road trip playlist. But the self imposed rules of this article was to choose only one song per artist.

Yes, he has more up-tempo songs that could fit the genre better, but we feel that sometimes you gotta slow down when choosing a road trip song and let the mellow feeling takeover as you drive the open road.

Redemption Song is the perfect song for that occasion. It’s one of those songs where you can put your vocal skills to the test and sing with feeling.

Download Redemption Song for 1.29 on Amazon

48. Follow You Into the Dark by Death Cab for Cutie

death cab for cutie | travel song

Sticking with slow songs, Dave and I love this one by Death Cab for Cutie. It’s a love song and we love a good love song. Hey, we’re both romantics at heart. One of my favourite lines is:

“You and me have seen everything to see From Bangkok to Calgary The soles of your shoes are all worn down “ That’s how Dave and I feel, we’ve seen it all together and we love doing so.

Download this now  for your Road Trip Song Playlist on Amazon

49. Life’s Been Good by Joe Walsh

joe walsh life's been good

Another very long tune. Life’s Been Good is a great road trip sing-a-long song. It goes on for a whopping 8 minutes. Do you know how many km you can cover when driving at 100km (or if you’re like most people, 120km) per hour?

That’s right, 15km will fly right by! How does Life’s Been Good fit with a road trip? Well, he does sing, “ My  Maserati  does 185, I lost my license, now I don’t drive. ” Best lyrics ever!

50. Shelter from the Storm by Bob Dylan

shelter from the stone | music on the road

Well, since we’re in the vein of 1960s music icons. We must include a little Bob Dylan. You see, you want your road trip playlist to be versatile. You can’t stick with one genre or one decade. It needs to span many years and cover all music types.

That way you never get bored. Shelter from the Storm is one of Bob’s greatest hits and he’s had many.

You may choose one of his more famous songs like Blowin’ in the Wind, Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door or Mr. Tambourine Man, But listen to Shelter from the Storm. This is a great song.

Purchase Shelter From the Storm Now

51. Piano Man by Billy Joel

piano man billy joel

I’ll never forget locking up Sherry Ott’s phone (of  Ottsworld’s ) during the  Mongol Rally.  She and Rick had to listen to our playlist the rest of the 10,000 km and she mentioned, if only we had some Billy Joel. I love Billy Joel, so I felt the same way!

We didn’t have Spotify then, so we couldn’t just magically download Billy Joel in the Gobi desert, but I do agree, he makes for some great road trip music. Yes, he has a lot of hits, but Dave and I both love Piano Man.

It’s another long anthem type song that lets you sing along forever. With verse after verse our voices grow stronger and more powerful in the car until we’re both belting out “Sing us a Song You’re the Piano Man!” no you’re the piano man!

Get it on Amazon

52. Old Man by Neil Young

old man | neil younge

From Piano Man to Old Man. Niel Young is another iconic Canadian in our list. I could do a Canadian version of Road Trip Songs, but I am afraid half of you wouldn’t know the songs I am talking about.

Anyone else out there know of The Tragically Hip’s  Fireworks ? Our Lady Peace’s  Starseed  or Blue Rodeo’s  Bad Timing ? Didn’t think so.

But we the world knows Neil Young. Even the younger generation knows him thanks to Jimmy Fallon. Old Man is our favourite. What’s yours?

Listen to Old Man Now

Watch Jimmy Fallon and Neil Young on YouTube

53. Lust for Life by Iggy Pop

lust for life | iggy pop

In the 1990s, I didn’t know a lot about punk rock. Dave and I were into Grunge at the time. But when we went to go see Trainspotters at the theatre, we were introduced to Lust for Life by Iggy Pop.

If this doesn’t get you rocking in the car, nothing will. It is the perfect way to end our road trip songs playlist with an upbeat tune that was made for road tripping.

Lust for Life is on Amazon for just $1.29

54. Radar Love by Golden Earring

songs for a road  trip | radar love

Whenever the popular rock and roll radio station in Toronto does a traffic update, they play this song. They also play “I’m a highway star” but Radar Love has the much better groove. I love adding grooving songs to drive to on my playlist.

55. Route 66 by Nat King Cole

road songs | route 66

It’s a classic and an oldie but goodie. All kinds of people have covered Route 66 but nothing compares to the velvet voice of Nat King Cole. So add this classic road song to your playlist and get your kicks on Route 66.

56. Mustang Sally in the Commitments

a song to drive to | mustang sally

When I was younger I was in a band that had the feel of the movie The Commitments. I loved singing back up vocals to Mustang Sally, “Ride Sally Ride. This song has a cool groove that gets you in the mood to drive. (Among other things)

57. The Air Tonight by Phil Collins

road ripping to the air tonight

Who doesn’t love that drum solo by Phil Collins in the Air Tonight. I’ll never forget hearing it for the first tim eon Miami Vice when Crocket and Tubs were driving down the strip of Miami. Man, this is the best grooving driving song out there.

58. Castle on the Hill by Ed Sheeran

road trip songs set in europe - castle on a hill

Ed Sheeran is awesome. There isn’t a song of his I don’t like. But when it comes to songs about driving, this is it. I love the lyrics:

“I’m on my way Driving at ninety down those country lanes Singing to “Tiny Dancer” And I miss the way you make me feel, and it’s real We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill.”

Dave and I totally sing to Tiny Dancer when driving and we always think about driving those back roads in Ireland. How can the locals possibly go 90 on narrow winding roads, and yet they do. they really do! Get Castle on a Hill now

59. Boys of Summer by Don Henley

califonria road trip songs | boys of summer

I admit, I bought a pair of RayBans just because of these lyrics… “Driving in your car with those Wayfarers on baby.”

When I listen to the Boys of Summer, I envision beautiful people driving up and down the sunset strip in Los Angeles. I always have and still do. Check out our guide to the Ultimate California Road Trip

60. Where the Streets have No Name by U2

songs about  road trips | u2

And let’s end with a song that actually has a street in the name. Well, the Streets have no name here. U2s anthem is the perfect ending to our road tripping song. From the Joshua Tree, that takes us through the California desert, the Streets Have No Name, is a song that will hypnotize you as you get lost in Bono’s dreamy vocals. Just make sure to keep your eyes on the road!

81 thoughts on “60 Best Road Trip Songs to Rock the Drive”

Where Chris Rea? There should be at least one song if not 3

Interesting list you have here. I have some recommendations here if you don’t mind.

Raspberries – Go All the Way Jason Isbell – Super 8 Big Star – In the Street Crack the Sky, the best band to come out of Baltimore – Nuclear Apathy Wishbone Ash – (In All My Dreams) You Rescue Me The Bottle Rockets – Radar Gun Danny O’Keefe – Good Time Charlie’s Got the Blues Cross Canadian Ragweed – Fightin’ For

Thanks for the nice collection, will definitely try this!!

Thank you so much for sharing this playlist. I really loved it.

Very nice collection thanks for sharing!!

Blatantly missing: “Roll on Down the Highway” – Bachman-Turner Overdrive

Great selection. Along with ‘Go Your own Way’ and ‘Life is a Highway’, I’d add ‘Peaches’ by Justin Bieber

Nice One! Amazing Playlist! Really love This, thank you for sharing this lovely playlist.

Awesome Playlist !! Love It

Thanks for the song list now it will be very easy for me to go on a road trip.

thanks for the list of songs. I loved the ‘boys of summer’ song so much. Every time when I drive I always play this song.

Thank you very much for this playlist. I really loved it.

Superb Collection.. Thanks for the lovely post

fantastic article thanks for sharing, I appereciate your work

Thanks so much! Do you have a favourite song to add?

Most of these songs and genres that aren’t rock should be left off the list completely. The best road songs are real rock hands down. The best road song ever is Judas Priest’s “Heading Out To The Highway”. The live version of the Priest Live album from 1987.

You reminded me of songs that I love but forgot about. Thanks for making this playlist, I will definitely be listening to some old favorites as well as some ones you’ve recommended…Old is gold

Thanks for this article but there are many tracks apart from these to make the highway journey a perfect experience.

You reminded me some of the songs that I love but forgotten about it. Thanks for reminding me again, I will definitely be listening to some old favorites as well as someones you’ve recommended. 🙂

Great collections thank you so much for sharing this article.

Really a great collection of songs thanks for sharing hopefully it will help me next time i go out.

Thank you for this wonderful list. It really helped me a lot during my road trip.

Amazing article I really loved it. Thanks for sharing this amazing content.

Yes.. This is an excellent list of songs for road trip

Superb Collection. Thanks for sharing it.

Awesome and ‘d add Big Sugar’s “Please Let Me Sleep In Late or My Heart Refuses To Pound”.

The requirement for any good road trip is, as everyone knows, a killer soundtrack. And summer is the optimal time to hit the road and go on an adventure. Whether you’re embarking on a solo trip or gathering with friends and family, you’re going to need some tunes to keep you company along the way. We’ve collated classic driving songs from throughout the eras and assembled the best road trip songs to fire up as you head out on the open road.

Hey, nice post loved it.

You reminded me of songs that I love but forgot about! Thanks for making this playlist, I will definitely be listening to some old favorites as well as some ones you’ve recommended!

Awesome playlist! Added some of these for my next road trip 🙂 Thanks for the post!

really nyc playlist

awesome..amazing man..!!

Thank you so much!! You don’t know how you helped me. But you helped me a lot. Usually, I get bored while going for a long ride but now it is gonna Amazing. Thank you again.

Hi, You have put together a great collection of songs. It’s true music and travel if combined together can make any trip a great one. I have although written a similar article on my blog but being an Indian I love Bollywood songs. Lately, I have added some modern International songs too on my playlist and I am loving those. I have noticed that you have added many classic old songs, I have listened to a few of them on YouTube and I found them pretty great. Thanks for sharing your list of songs with us. You can check out mine too. It’s a bit different from yours.

Great collection. There is so much good music out there, old and new, the challenge always seems to be keeping the list to a manageable number. Quite a few caught me by surprise. I was a long haul truck driver for many years, and a big music fan, but you learn something new every day. A running joke in my house is that I have been more places with Melissa Etheridge than I have with my wife of 36 years. Submitted for your consideration: You can sleep while I drive-Melissa Etheridge. Radar Love-Golden Earring Roll Me Away- Bob Seger In The Air Tonight- Phil Collins Uneasy Rider-Charlie Daniels Here I go Again-Whitesnake Eastbound and Down-Jerry Reeves This Flight Tonight-Nazareth Fly At Night-Chilliwack The Load Out-Jackson Browne Several dozen more than you will have space for.

Superb Collection..i definitely try all songs..i am planning to go out . i hope it helps for me.

Thank You So Much For The Playlist. Now I Am Gonna Rock The Long Drive.

What an Amazing Wonderful Collection Realy I Love IT 🙂

Great collection man..Enjoy

Nice playlist. I’d include America’s Ventura Highway.

was going to put I’ve Been Everywhere Man on the list and then I decided against it because I have it on another music list on this site. I linked to it in this article and I thought, uh oh, I can’t repeat songs too muc

wonderful collection

Thank you so much for the playlist. I loved all of them. Now am ready to hit the long roads.

I can’t argue with most of the selections on the list, but there are a few blatant omissions:

Born To Be Wild Radar Love Twilight Zone

I don’t know how any music list (regardless of theme) can be complete without a single song by Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Rush, or the Boss, let alone missing all of them???

I love music so much.this is the best article ever about road trip songs playlists. Thank you for nice article.

Excellent collection of songs! I truly needed to recommend this to these amazing people who have done great road trips I’m in touch with and will do in future. One of their trips was 20,000 Kms. Will share it ahead!

Thank you for the great road trip list. It was great.

Thanks Dev & Deb !! You made my day…!! By reading your article I found so much happiness because in coming days I’ll go on long tour with my new car & these road trip songs will rock it all the way … !! 🙂

– Jenny Diana

Jessica by the Allman Brothers is one of the best for me. In the movie of my life, it’s the music that would playduring the scenewhen I take a long road trip or move cross-country. 😛

Great addition, I’ll have to add it to my Spotify.

Ooooooh, so many. Led Zep’s Dazed and Confused (26 minute version), Hendrix’ Voodoo Chile, a lot of Buddy Guy. Yesterday I heard B-52s “Planet Claire”–that is a serious jam.

I am so happy to spend my time here, i am always search exactly like this blog. Thanks for sharing us.

Great choices and I love that you included a Canadian. Life is a Highway. Woot!

Awesome and ‘d add Big Sugar’s “Please Let Me Sleep In Late or My Heart Refuses To Pound”.

Great selection. Along with ‘Go Your own Way’ and ‘Life is a Highway’, I’d add ‘Dance the Night Away’ by Van Halen

Superb!! Never gonna to forget this one!!

I Wanna Be Sedated BY The Ramones

Amazing this post, thanks for share it.

Amazing this one thanks for share it.

Fantastic list, thank you! One addition comes to mind right away: “Life is a Highway” by Tom Cochrane. I mean, it actually has the word highway in it. Classic.

That’s a great addition. I was actually thinking about that song. I love him because he’s also Canadian and I like adding Canadians to the list. But I then decided to leave him out because for me, he was oversaturated (in our neck of the woods anyway) and that song was totally overplayed and now I just can’t listen to it anymore. But most people love it!

I would add “Go Your Own Way” by Fleetwood Mac.

Great choice! How could I forget that one!

thank you! One addition comes to mind right away: “Life is a Highway” by Tom Cochrane.

LOVE THESE!! Couldn’t agree more about Paradise by the Dashboard Light. I love Meat Loaf, LOL. He was my first concert at age 8 😀 and we played “I Would Do Anything For Love” at our wedding hahaha. Great pics. I love any Bob Dylan or Johnny Cash as well—perfect for an All-American road trip. Also 80’s rock.

Road trips are the best!!

I loved that I would do Anything for Love. It was a great comeback song for him. So what wouldn’t you do? Haha, He says, I would do anything for love, but I won’t do that. HAha. I always think about what is that? 🙂 I was going to put I’ve Been Everywhere Man on the list and then I decided against it because I have it on another music list on this site. I linked to it in this article and I thought, uh oh, I can’t repeat songs too much.

Very good article…this is a very unique article for me. I have never seen this kinda article on any sites… REALLY VERY NICE..CHEERS

Thanks Jessica. We love music so much we decided that we had to put together a list of our playlists. So there you go!
