Songs for Traveling
No list of travel songs could ever hope to be complete without the addition of Travelin’ Man by Lynard Skynard. A tale as old as time (though perhaps not a song quite as old as rhyme), it portrays one of those poor American souls cursed (or blessed?) with an insatiable wanderlust and an appetite for the open road. I like to think that Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassidy heard this song later in life and wept openly as it exposed them to their core. Forcing them, once and for all to come to terms with the heartbreak they may have caused in their own days of being “Travelin’ Men” and whether it was a fair trade for their own selfish desires to stay continuously moving in a effort to see all there was to see without ever doubling back. Either that or it’s just a really cool classic rock song about traveling that you can put on repeat and sing at the top of your lungs with the windows down and a friend by your side.
