Songs about cars, driving, open highways, speed ''[[GratuitousLatin et al]]''. Very common from US based artists due to the heavy car culture in the States: teens can start driving at 14 in some states so driving is a common cultural touchstone from a younger age than elsewhere. A disproportionate amount of these songs take place either in the south if it's country, or California if it's any other genre due to the prevalence of highways over public transit systems.
Some people see road trips across the US in motorcycle or car as a coming-of-age milestone that's fondly remembered. Youthful road trips in the US aren't generally done because there's no mass-transit alternatives, but because of the freedom they represent to wander around alone on your own (non-)schedule rather than with a bunch of people on a train schedule. There's a popular romanticism to just driving wherever you want for your own pleasure, that is very distinct from day-to-day necessary transport from point A to B, at least in US culture. Most of these songs reflect this aspect of driving as pure recreation, and possibly some sort of wanderjahr-ish self-discovery
