Driving in a car can be pretty fun, especially when you have music to listen and sing along to. Although, listening to the radio can get boring from time to time.

Having a music app like Spotify or even making a CD to play in your car could help you come up with new songs to listen to on a road trip without the constant 5 songs playing in a row. When it comes to coming up with good road trip music, always look towards the classics.

Everything from the 70's through the early 20's; feel good songs that will bring you back to the days of your childhood. Here is a list of a few songs that could liven up any road trip playlist.

1. Don't Go Breaking My Heart - Elton John and Kiki Dee

This fun little diddy released in 1976, and it is a classic that is fun to sing-a-long to with your best friend.


2. Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

A classic. Do I need to say anymore?


3. Dancing Queen - ABBA

"You are the Dancing Queen. Young and sweet. Only seventeen..." but you don't have to be seventeen to love this song.


4. You Give Love A Bad Name (Shot Through The

Heart) - Bon Jovi

Commonly known as "Shot Through The Heart", released in 1986, this song is a rock' roll hit.


5. Stairway To Heaven - Led Zeppelin

One of Led Zeppelin's most recognizable songs. With an excellent tune and chorus, how would you not love it?


6. Dream On - Aerosmith

Aerosmith is one of the most popular classic rock bands out there. This song has a calm sense and is a very powerful ballad.


7. Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns N' Roses

Fun Fact: Did you know that the lyrics to this song came from a poem Axl Rose was working on?


8. Come Sail Away - Stix

"Come sail away... Come sail away... Come sail away with me" off into a daydream of great music.


9. Stayin' Alive - Bee Gees

"Stayin' Alive... Statin' Alive..." This is definitely a song worth listening to. With it's catchy tune, it's no wonder why many people turn to this song on karaoke nights.


10. December, 1963 - Frankie Valli & The Four Season

Frankie Valli's December, 1963 is a very catchy song. With Valli's high notes, it just takes you back to the early sixties.


11. The Logical Song - Supertramp

This song's message about logic restricting creativity and passion has a special place in my heart, and I hope it will touch you the same way.


12. Piano Man - Billy Joel

A great song to sing by yourself or with another friend. It's perfect for taking the lone road.


13. The Boys Are Back in Town - Thin Lizzy

This 1976 song is great to sing-a-long to in a car full of friends and family. It has a great beat that will liven up any party.


14. American Pie - Don McLean

I don't know much about Don McLean, but I do know this song is an instant American hit usually played a lot on the fourth of July.


15. Born To Run - Bruce Springsteen

Did you know it took Bruce Springsteen six months to prefect the song "Born To Run"?

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
