People always seem shocked when I drive home to Atlanta by myself for Christmas from Gainesville, FL. Sure, it’s a boring drive with not a sole to talk to, but it never really bothers me. I find it refreshing: just me, the open road and my constant scroll of music.
The upgraded from an iPod Nano to an iTouch makes the 5-hour drive through middle-of-nowhere Georgia much more bearable. The opportunities are endless when you have 16gigs of music and a limitless amount of battery–OK…14 hours, but anywhere I’m going I’ll get there by then. That’s right, the perfect ingredients for an all-out dance party. Unfortunately I’m bound to a couple cubic feet of wiggle room once I lock my 2006 Ford Escape on cruise control, but the energy is just the same.
I have the bad habit of rocking out on these drives. And along with the cheapest places to stop for gas all through Georgia, I’ve come across my absolute favorite songs to sing loudly too with the windows rolled up so no one can hear my screeching.
1. Martina McBride – A Broken Wing
2. Stroke 9 – Washin’ and Wonderin’
3. Carrie Underwood – Last Name
4. John Legend – Green Light
5. Kellie Pickler – Red High Heels
6. Jason Mraz – I’m Yours
7. Corey Smith – If I Could Do It Again
8. The Who – Baba O’Riley
9. Weather Girls – It’s Raining Men
10. Dave Matthews Band – Ants Marching
11. Reba McEntire – Fancy
12. Benjy Davis Project – Louisiana Saturday Night
13. Carrie Underwood – Before He Cheats
I’m really not the biggest fan of country music. It’s not my fault that pissed off Southern chicks come up with the best lyrics to sing loudly.
