I'll be forced to hunt you down and kill you. Sorry. Nothing personal. You just have to be stopped before you breed.

My personal fav might be, "Somebody to Love"

Radar Love is Key

Not exactly rock but.... Rocky Top is a great road song.

Other contenders:

Devil Went Down to Georgia

Born To Be Wild

Ballad of the Easy Rider

Hot Blooded

Bad to the Bone

Sweet Home Alabama

And Many More...

Eat me!

I close my eyes
only for a moment then the moment's gone
All my dreams
pass before my eyes a curiosity.

Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind

Same old song
just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do
crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see

Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind

(violin solo or repeat verse chords twice if you are alone on an acoustic)

Don't hang on
nothing lasts forever but the Earth and sky
It slips away
and all your money won't another minute buy

Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind

Eat me!

An honorable mention goes to

Born To Run

In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on highway 9,
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected
and steppin' out over the line
Baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run

Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
I want to guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
and strap your hands across my engines
Together we could break this trap
We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back
Will you walk with me out on the wire
'Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider
But I gotta find out how it feels
I want to know if love is wild
girl I want to know if love is real

Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
The girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors
And the boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark
Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
I wanna die with you Wendy on the streets tonight
In an everlasting kiss

The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
Everybody's out on the run tonight
but there's no place left to hide
Together Wendy we'll live with the sadness
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
Someday girl I don't know when
we're gonna get to that place
Where we really want to go
and we'll walk in the sun
But till then tramps like us
baby we were born to run


There. Isn't that better than that gayass Kansas song?

Jesus built my hotrod. It's a love affair. Mainly Jesus and my car.

That tears it... I have commenced the development of tiny constructor robots. These tiny robots will build millions of even tinier robots that are programmed to swarm the globe and seek out your likeness. Upon finding you they will embed themselves in you ear canal and broadcast non-stop REO speedwagon and Journey.

"Devil went down to Georgia"
"Radar Love"
"Red Barchetta"


3 awesome choices. Hard to argue any of them.

but Bohemian Rhapsody has to be in there somewhere.
