However, the classic tunes here each distill the need we occasionally feel to get in the car and just start driving. No plans, and the only destination is wherever the road takes us. These songs are better loud, so crank them and try it with the windows down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cHighway 61 Revisited\u201d by Bob Dylan<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited (Official Audio)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8hr3Stnk8_k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>U.S. Route 61 runs from Bob Dylan\u2019s hometown in Duluth, Minnesota, to New Orleans, Louisiana. Writing in <em>Chronicles<\/em>, he says, \u201cHighway 61 begins about where I came from.\u201d Dylan fills the verses here with various characters\u2014biblical Abraham, the king of France, and a roving gambler, to name a few\u2014each searching for a solution to their problems. And each verse ends with the same destination, Highway 61. So, \u201cJust take everything down to Highway 61,\u201d says Louie the King to Mack the Finger. Like any great highway song, it offers the possibility of something better somewhere far away from here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cRamblin\u2019 Man\u201d by The Allman Brothers Band<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Allman Brothers Band - Ramblin&#039; Man (Lyric Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Wa4DCp6cl2U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Inspired by Hank Williams, the Dickey Betts-penned <a href=\"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/facts\/the-allman-brothers-band\/ramblin-man\">\u201cRamblin\u2019 Man\u201d<\/a> remains a Southern rock standard.

In Williams\u2019s tune, the restless narrator can\u2019t escape the allure of the open road. Not all outlaws are alike, but one thing they all have in common is the need to keep ramblin\u2019 on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cBorn To Run\u201d by Bruce Springsteen<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IxuThNgl3YA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of the great escape anthems. Here, Bruce Springsteen describes a desire to get out of this boring town. To go anywhere but here because \u201ctramps like us, baby, we were born to run.\u201d He wants freedom: \u201cSprung from cages on Highway 9 \/ Chrome wheeled, fuel injected, and stepping out over the line.\u201d The hot rod poetry speaks to the power of release and the speed with which one finally escapes. It all feels dangerous and scary, but the idea of hope, of something better, makes \u201cBorn To Run\u201d also feel like a hymn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Photo by Charlie Steiner &#8211; Highway 67\/Getty Images<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Revisit classic highway songs by Bob Dylan, The Allman Brothers Band, and Bruce Springsteen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":973477,"featured_media":2340,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"byline":{"profiles":[{"type":"byline_id","atts":{"term_id":316,"post_id":2139}}]},"savage_platform_role_ideator":[],"savage_platform_role_editor":[],"savage_platform_role_senior_editor":[],"savage_platform_role_photographer":[],"savage_platform_role_illustrator":[],"savage_platform_role_translator":[],"savage_platform_role_as-told-to":[],"savage_platform_role_reviewed-by":[],"savage_platform_disable_recirculation":false,"savage_platform_article_type":"news","savage_platform_vice_article_type":"article","savage_platform_article_intent":"","savage_platform_show_affiliate_disclaimer":false,"wp_curate_deduplication":false,"wp_curate_unique_pinned_posts":false,"savage_platform_featured_image_caption":"Photo by Charlie Steiner -
