Road to Nowhere is about George Washington, so that

So Crossroads isn't much about driving. Everyone passes him by. Got some kneeing and some selling ones soul to the devil though so it's all good.

"Send Me On My Way" is simultaneously the newest and most embarrassing thing on here, and iirc correctly it doesn't have anything to do with driving, transportation, moving, etc

Also, why "Speed King" and not "Highway Star?"

Sammy Hagar clearly explains that he can't drive so

King of the road is about renting out Trailers to Sailors.

'Highway Chile' has the line "his dusty boots is his Cadillac". The song is literally about a touring musician who doesn't have a car.

"Travelin' Band" is about flying not driving:

Seven thirty seven comin' out of the sky
Won't you take me down to Memphis on a midnight ride
I want to move
Playin' in a travelin' band, yeah!
Well I'm flyin' 'cross the land tryin' to get a hand
Playin' in a travelin' band

The compiler of this compilation is engaging in some A+ trolling. I would maybe add 'She Drives Me Crazy' or 'I Just Wanna Stop' (which is clearly a song about the joys of braking).

wait what the hell else is "I Can't Drive 55" about then? I mean okay it's conceptually about him being a law-flouting, rockin' rebel, but the manifest content concerns the speed limit for crying out loud!
