What are some good songs about travel? Mostly about travel in the U.S.?!
Question: I have recently completed an extensive trip across America and am putting together a slide show presentation to show at family gatherings. I would like some music to use in the background. I have thought of alot of the obvious ones like "America the Beautiful", "Route 66", "I've Been Everywhere", and "On the Road Again". What am I missing? Please be as broad as you want. Any suggestions will be very greatly appreciated. Thankya.
