Tina Adair: "How Many Roads"

How many roads lead me from you?
How many highways lead me to
A place away from yesterday
When our love was new?
How many roads lead me from you?

The Allman Brothers Band: "Let Me Ride"

Well now times got hard
And I didn't draw the card I needed
So I proceeded to bang it on down the line
Hitchhike, turnpike
And if you got room won't you let me ride?
Just as far as you're going
And Lord knowing I'll be much obliged.

Jann Arden: "Where No One Knows Me"

Got my hands on the wheel, got my foot on the pedal
Gonna drive til I drop, til the tires turn to metal
Gonna sleep when I'm dead, gonna laugh like the devil
Gonna find some place where no one knows me.

Gonna stop when the last drop of gas turns to vapor
Gonna ride til I can't even seem to remember
Who I was when I left and it don't even matter
Gonna find some place where no one knows me.

The gate was closing, the sun was folding
Her hand was waving me good-bye
Remember me to the highway signs
The colored lights and the highway lines.

Aztec Two-Step: "The Persecution and Restoration of Dean Moriarity (On the Road)"

And he was born on the road in the month of July
And he'll live on the road 'til he sees fit to die
Cause he's learned from the road how humanity cries
How society lies, he sees with more than his eyes.

Walkin' down this rocky road
Wonderin' where my life is leading
Rollin' on to the bitter end
Finding out along the way what it takes

Chuck Berry: "No Money Down"

As I was motivatin' back in town
I saw a Cadillac sign
Sayin' "No Money Down"
So I eased on my brakes
And I pulled in the drive
Gunned my motor twice
Then I walked inside...
I'm gonna get me a car
And I'll be headed on down the road
Then I won't have to worry
About that broken-down, raggedy Ford.

Bon Jovi: "Lost Highway"

Life changes like the weather.
You grow up, grow old, or hit the road 'round here.
So I drive, watching white lines passing by
With my plastic dashboard Jesus, waiting there to greet us.
Hey, hey, I finally found my way
Say goodbye to yesterday.
Hit the gas, there ain't no brakes on the lost highway.
Yeah, I'm bustin' loose, I'm letting go.
Out on this open road
It's independence day on this lost highway.

Sarah Borges: "Daniel Lee"

It was late last night, I was driving,
I was thinking about you
Thinking Daniel Lee.
And I tried to remember,
You got me down, you got me hard up.
No matter how much, it's never enough
And oh Daniel Lee,
I'm driving so fast, and never caught up.

Cake: "Long Line of Cars"

There's a long line of cars
And they're trying to get through.
There's no single explanation
There's no central destination...
And this long line of cars
Keeps coming around the bend
From the streets of Sacramento
To the freeways of L.A.

Eric Carmen: "Make Me Lose Control"

I run a comb through my hair and step out in the street
And the city's the color of flame in the mid-summer heat.
Jennifer's got her daddy's car,
She's playing "Uptown" on the stereo.
We go cruisin' so close, the way they did long ago
Turn the radio up for that sweet sound.

Dennis Clifton: "The Blues Highway"

Headlights shining on the blacktop
Out on the blues highway
Rolling south out of Memphis
In a ragtop Chevrolet.
Farmer nights in the Delta
Juke joints calling his name
Laying down the blues on his ol' six string.

Dennis Clifton: "Detour You"

Grabbed the rearview mirror, tore it off, and slung it out.
Don't care about where I've been,
I ain't going back again.
Gonna let the highway find what my future's about
White line, road signs
Everywhere that I've seen
Every time a little bit further from your memory.
Wheels turning, gas burning, driving me to someone new
Searching for a better road so I can detour you.

Dennis Clifton: "I've Got Miles to Go"

I've got the highway on my mind...
Got the top rolled down
So I can feel the wind blow
Thinking about the feeling of the freedom I used to know
Ain't gonna worry about where I've been
I'm gonna find myself again
Even though I've got miles to go

Karen Collins and the Backroads Band: "Highway of Love"

I'm taking a detour 'round the traffic
On this highway of love.
No more waiting on Fate.
No more wishing on stars above.
Taking matters into my own hands
Rollin' 'round the traffic jam
Heading down that highway of love.
Revin' up my engine. Pedal to the floor
Shiftin' into overdrive
Gotta get moving, tired of wasting time.
I'll leave Fate in the dust as I roll by.

Well, we've been driving this road for a mighty long time
Paying no mind to the signs...
Slow down, you're gonna crash.
Baby, you're a-screaming it's a blast, blast, blast
Look out, babe, you've got your blinders on
Everybody's looking for a way to get real gone.

Do you still drive up Highway One
Going way too fast
Racing with the sun?

Sue Foley w/ Deborah Coleman and Roxanne Potvin: "So Far"

Eyes are burning, smell of sweat
Shiny road, soaking wet
Slippery slopes and curves that gasp my breath

I'm pretty sure I'm bound to meet my death
And my heart is so far - so far from me.

Stacy Glen: "Driving in the Country"

The feel of the wheel, the call of the open land.
When I'm driving in the country, feels like flying away
By the dashboard light I can see your face
And the smile that makes me say
Won't you come driving in the country today?

Stacy Glen: "West on 80"

I feel the Eastern tightness around my soul,
And it's telling me I should go

From the Empire State out to San Francisco,
In my soul I know I will go west on 80 given time.

Going up to Mendocino, driving Highway One to a place I know.

I go from you for a while, but miss your sweet sweet smile.

On the highway of tears
You want to lose me, you've told me it's true.

Different directions swirl in my head.
I'm sighing, I'm crying,
I know the pain of our love dying.

Pete Karp: "Air, Fuel and Fire"

I met a one-eyed man in Birmingham...
He said you ride in the world with a heavy load
Keep one eye on the rearview and one on the road.
When the tires start to swell, and the earth starts shakin'
They come from behind to steal your bacon.
Air, fuel and fire
Till we run out of night and day.

Moving on is my middle name
Hey, here I go again.
There's a car outside
And there's a road.

And a time to rock'n roll
You've been a real good friend
But I'm on my way
If I don't see you real soon
I'll see you down the road some day.

We burned up the days and night, me and her,

She'd put her head on my shoulder
And tell me to keep on drivin'.

Took your land for a fair price
Made you sign on a fine line
Back on the Stillhouse Road
But the maple sugars and the grapevines

If only they knew all it cost you
Back on the Stillhouse Road
Pictures and memories
Are all that's left you
Back on the Stillhouse Road.

It's gonna turn you inside out.

Richard Shindell: "Kenworth of My Dreams"

I proudly put my name upon the Kenworth of my dreams
But sometimes late at night out on some interstate
I hear those sad country songs, true love found, true love gone
Lately I just turn the... thing off...
I haul bourbon up to Buffalo and frozen foods to Maine
Toxic waste or Quaker State, it's all the same to me
I'll go anywhere for anything in the Kenworth of my dreams.

Richard Shindell: "Next Best Western"

It's the middle of the night near the Indiana line
I'm pulling in a Christian station, the signal's crystal clear
But I cannot really hear what he says about the Revelation...
At four a.m. on 80 East, it's in the nature of the beast
To wonder if there's something missing
I am wretched, I am tired, but the preacher is on fire
And I wish I could believe.

Richard Shindell: "Transit"

The merge from the turnpike was murder, but it's never a cinch
It was Friday at five, and no one was giving an inch.
They squeezed and they edged and they glared
Half of them clearly impaired by rage or exhaustion...
And so they continued west-bound and into the sun
Law and decorum constraining nary a one
By then it was devil-may-care
Not one even vaguely aware
That they had come all the way to the Delaware Water Gap.

You gotta keep on moving and never slow down
Keep on moving until they put you in the ground.

You see it on the TV all the time
How you never ought to drink and drive.

There's an accident waiting to happen
A price to pay
Better pull over, baby,
Instead of driving and driving me away.

On a bus to St. Cloud, Minnesota,
I thought I saw you there
With the snow falling down around you
Like a silent prayer...
And once on a cold L.A. freeway
Going nowhere
And it's strange, but it's true,
I was sure it was you,
Just a face in the crowd
On a bus to St. Cloud.

Eli Young Band: "Highways and Heart Aches"

Staring through the walls of that motel room
Reflecting on his days, the route he's seemed to choose.
Will good outshine bad, can he turn this thing around?
Should he drop to his knees, just give up now
Begging for release in the night?
Has he gone too far to fight?
All he knows are
Highways and broken hearts, late nights and old guitars
Wondering where you are, you're so far away.
