Actually Tom Petty had a great album in 2006 totally dedicated to taking a road trip called 'Highway Companion'.

It's the only song I can really play and sing at the same time.

I'm going to guess no-one else on the forum has even heard these 2 tracks .... maybe?
You would be wrong about that!

I will add "Open Car" to that list.

BTW Arriving Somewhere, But Not Here and Heart Attack In A Lay-by are two of my absolute favorite songs!

Another obscure car song is "Dig Me" by King Crimson

"Dig Me"

It's here I sit and rust amid this ruin and rancor like tire irons
toothy grills and car parts before me...the acid rain floods my
floorboard, burns my pores, and rots my upholstry.. once I was
worshipped, polished magnificently, now I lay in decay by the dirty
angry bay...

I'm ready to leave
I wanna get out of here
I'm ready to ride away
I don't want to die in here
I'm ready to ride

My skin is metallic now, no longer an elegant powder blue... my body
unhinged and sleeping in the jungle of motor block manifolds and metal
relics... what was deluxe becomes debris, I never questioned loyalty,
but this dead end demolishes the dream of an open highway...

dig me...but don't...bury me

Gosh, I can't believe that there is no mention of Janis and her wish for a Mercedes!

Best,
