Belle & Sebastian’s “I Love My Car” (music lyrics) is not about cars and driving, but it seems like a good fit, to me, for someone who has a new car.
I don’t think these have been mentioned yet:
“You Can’t Catch Me” - Chuck Berry
“Born to Run” - Bruce Springsteen (obvious)
“One Piece at a Time” - Johnny Cash
“Dead Man’s Curve” - Jan & Dean
“Gear Jammer” - George Thorogood (may not qualify since it’s about a truck)
Heading Out to the Highway - Judas Priest
Terminus Eldorado - Ted Nugent
Manic Mechanic - ZZ Top
lieu wrote “Ridin’ High - Moxy”.
Man, I have that album. I think this is the first time I’ve seen anybody else mention it.
Couple more
Jesus Built my Hotrod - Ministry
Jerry was a Race Car Driver - Primus

Carol County Accident
I Drove All Night – Roy Orbison

Lake Shore Drive- Aliotta Haynes Jeremiah
Ode to my Car - Adam Sandler
Ha! I was a big fan of Tommy Bolin, which led me to their first album (Black). From there I just kept buyin’.
“I Can’t Drive 55” is a classic. It’s awful, but it should be included.
I think you mean Beep Beep by The Playmates.
502 - Megadeth
Driving fast makes me feel good,
The speed of light trapped under my hood.
Breaking laws, 'cause there’s nothing to do.
Driving the interstate, stopped for a 502
Hundreds of miles rolled off today.
Signs lose their meaning, minutes tick away.
Dirt roads to interstates, I must have drove them all.
Cigarettes and burgers, caffeine and alcohol.
“Stolen Car” and “Long Ride Home,” by Patty Griffin.
*Drivin’ *-- Pearl Harbor and the Explosions
Detroit Rock City - Kiss. Okay, so it’s about a car accident, but that counts, right?
That’s it. Thank you.
