Roam by the B52's - https://youtu.be/iNwC0sp-uA4

Tom Cochrane's Life is a Highway - https://youtu.be/U3sMjm9Eloo

Ride by Liz Phair - https://youtu.be/i6-X5cZzrUw

Runnin' Down a Dream by Tom Petty - https://youtu.be/Y1D3a5eDJIs

Get to Me by Train - https://youtu.be/0OJvFpzHGIc

Heh... and there's basically the first few tracks of the drivin' drivin' mixed CD I have in the car. ;)

Good suggestions, thanks! I especially like "Another White Dash" and "Runnin' Down a Dream". I think we already have "Roam" on the prior CD, and "Life is a Highway" is on the Cars soundtrack. Thanks!
