These Are Your Favorite Songs About Cars
The other day, I asked you, dear readers, about your favorite songs about or mentioning a car. I was sincerely curious to know since I’m big into cars and music, but for some reason it never occurred to me to sit and think about just how many songs have been made about a car. It turns out there are way more than I thought. Here are some of your favorites.
Megadeath - “502"

Thom Shepherd - “Country Squire”
Country Squire
Artists often sing about fun cars, which gets boring. I absolutely love that Thom went out of his way to sing about his wonderful hunk of american steel turd, built for regular people. we need more songs about station wagons.

Bob Seger - “Get Out Of Denver Get Out Of Denver”
Bob Seger - “Get Out Of Denver”
Get Out of Denver. Bob Seger version, although the Blue Traveler one is good too. Mentions cars, in relation to running from the police. Definitely one of those songs that comes on and the next thing you know you’re doing 110mph and not sure how that happened.
