Are we listing songs about the road or songs which sound good while driving down the road. Two very different things, imho. One classic song about life on the road (its not really a lead foot inducing song) is Bob Seger’s “Turn the Page” live version from Live Bullet.
On the other hand, some songs which make me want to floor the accelerator are, “Highway to Hell”, “Holiday Road”, “I Can’t Drive 55”, and “No Sleep til Brooklyn”.

Plastikman - consume from album Consumed. Great driving tune

Errrr Country Roads, John Denver? (someone had to)
So a road trip, for me, has to have a singalong quality, not too much dynamic range to keep the hand in the wheel. Some great memories from tapes initially then iPod playlists on many a holiday where the tunes were an essential part of keeping family harmony on long trips.
Okay if it only can be one I’m going for “Rosalie” Thin Lizzy, the album version from Fighting.

If I can be so bold as to choose a second “don’t go back to Rockville” - REM.
Another favourite was always Queen’s Don’t stop me now.
