20 Perfect Songs For Your Road Trip Playlist

Any good road trip requires a stellar playlist to keep travelers entertained! If you are planning a road trip, it is never too early to start looking up your favorite songs to enjoy during the drive! We love renting a car so we can head out into the untouched landscape and have the ability to explore at our own pace. We have done major road trips everywhere from Iceland and Ireland to Italy and France and driving in a foreign country is a unique experience. We have crossed 10 European countries and multiple U.S. States. Obviously, we had to have music we both loved! That is why we compiled the ultimate road trip playlist just for you!  We put Spotify on shuffle to give you an unfiltered peek into our road trip playlist/eclectic music tastes! Take a look:

• Blank Space (Acoustic)-Tyler Ward (Fun Fact: This is song is special to us so it is always at the top of our list!)
• Time After Time-Cyndi Lauper (A timeless classic! Also included on most of our lists) 
• Little Lion Man-Mumford and Sons
• Runaways-The Killers
• Does Your Mother Know-Abba
• Chandelier (Piano)-Sia
• California-Delta Spirit (Cali is close enough to Arizona for this song to work, right?)
• The Feel Again (Stay)-Blue October (Because everyone needs a little “mellow” music)
• Welcome to the Black Parade-My Chemical Romance
• She’s Always a Woman-Billy Joel (Because Billy Joel) 
• Missy-The Airborne Toxic Event
• Come Away with Me-Norah Jones
• Love Lockdown-Kanye West (Kanye can be annoying but his music is great..)
• Are You Gonna Be My Girl-Jet
• American Idiot-Green Day (Every road trip needs a little punk rock!)
