No one has made a career out of songs about cars like Springsteen.

My favorite is Adam Duritz, Raining in Baltimore.

Raining in Baltimore

Kudos to Jackson Browne. He wrote one and recorded ON a bus!

oasis - wonderwall

it's actually about being lost in life and looking for direction, and noel of course references driving and life on the road when he says "all the roads that lead the way are winding"

Roundabout - Yes
Written while on tour and driving in Scotland through endless roundabouts.

Women in Love - Van Halen
I think this song is about banging groupies while on tour.

quote:

All these crazy women,
One more crazy night
But one night's all we're given,
So honey, leave me alone, or baby, stay the night

There could be spinoff thread about groupie songs and this one does allude to life on the road.
