I don't know about you, but each time I get in my car, no matter if I'm just driving a few miles to the local grocery store, or 100 miles to fly off on a vacation, I have to have my country music with me. I've compiled a list of some of my favorite songs to create the ultimate road trip playlist.
"Amarillo by Morning" - George Strait
MCA Nashville
What would a drive in the car be like without something from the King George? This is another one that I just "have" to sing along with.

"Anything But Mine" - Kenny Chesney
BNA Nashville
Does Kenny Chesney know how to put out a bad song? Nope, not in my opinion. Most of these songs are up-tempo, but this one is a little slower, and very pretty.

"Bye Bye" - Jo Dee Messina
Curb Records
Jo Dee Messina has done her share of spunky songs, and this one is one of the best. It's a perfect song for when you're not feeling happy with your significant other, and feel like saying "Bye Bye."

"Days Go By" - Keith Urban
Capitol Nashville
This is another one that just makes you wanna get in the car and turn it up, and put your "hand out the window in the wind."

"Everywhere" - Tim McGraw
Curb Records
This is probably my very favorite Tim McGraw song ever. I love the name dropping of cities. It's just got a really great "outdoor" feeling to it, and it's one I turn up every time I hear it on the radio.

"Feels Like Today" - Rascal Flatts
Lyric Street Records
Rascal Flatts are known for their wonderful harmonies, and I especially love the chorus of "Feels Like Today."

"I May Hate Myself in the Morning" - Lee Ann Womack
MCA Nashville
This is one of Lee Ann Womack's very best songs. It's from her CMA Award-winning album There's More Where That Came From. Another slower song, but still a great song to listen to while driving.

"Neon Moon" - Brooks & Dunn
Arista Nashville
This is another song that is rooted in a concert experience. I can't hear this song without thinking about Ronnie Dunn's "Neon Moon" glow in the dark guitar. This has to be one of my all-time favorite Brooks & Dunn songs.

"Nothin' On But the Radio" - Gary Allan
MCA Nashville
Gary Allan can do happy and sad, but he excels at sexy, which is definitely what this song is. Hot! Hot! Hot! Love it!

"Nothin' to Lose" - Josh Gracin
Lyric Street Music
I may not be able to sing the words of this song as quickly as Josh Gracin does, but it's great fun to try to keep up with him.
