Americans Love Their Cars

Cadillac Ranch

Bruce Springsteen

James Dean in that Mercury '49
Junior Johnson runnin' through the woods of Carolin'
Even Burt Reynolds in that black Trans Am
All gonna meet down at the Cadillac ranch

2Pac – Picture Me Rollin’.
As the quintessential SoCal rapper, it’s pretty much obligatory for 2Pac to have a few songs about driving. In this track from 1996’s All Eyez on Me, 2Pac sets the scene, as he cruises down the streets of LA in his tricked-out Mercedes Benz. Along the way, he checks out a Lexus and a Chevy Big Body.

Somethin' Else: Eddie Cochrane (My car's out front and it's all mine/Just a forty-one Ford, not a fifty-nine).

[1968Hoya46]

It's Late: Everly Brothers (We're 'bout to run outta gas; can't speed we're in a slow down zone).

I Woke Up in a Car. Song by Something Corporate ‧ 2002.

➡️[*** I woke up in New York City.
From my sleep behind the wheel.
Caught a train to Poughkeepsie.
And time stood still.
