5 Must Have Country Songs on Your Summer Road Trip Playlist

It's right around the corner... Your road trip! Maybe you are taking a day trip with the family down I-25 to Garden of the Gods or your're loading up the car with your tent, camping gear, your pups and copious amount of marshmallows to roast on your campfire in southwestern Colorado on a long weekend.

Whatever destination you are heading to, you need tunes! I have 5 country songs that you absolutely positively need to have on your playlist for this summer. Here are the 5 songs I think you should have on your summer road trip playlist in no particular order...

Keith Urban - Long Hot Summer
You have to have this one since, ya know, it is about summer!

Eric Church - Talladega
Can't go wrong with a song about taking a road trip to a race.

Rascal Flatts - Life is a Highway
Probably one of my most favorite road trip songs of all time right here!

Rascal Flatts - Fast Cars and Freedom
Another Rascal Flatts song that has to be put on the playlist especially if you are taking a road trip with just you and your love!

John Denver - Take Me Home, Country Roads
This one is perfect for when you are up in the mountains, off the beaten path and making your way to some spectacular Rocky Mountain views!

I'm throwing this one in as an obligatory bonus. It's not in the top 5 because as a country music fan, it should already be on your list!

Willie Nelson - On the Road Again
This is one you CANNOT do without. It's about being on the road, so it is the perfect song for when you are making your way back home from your long road trip!
