Filed under: 9:30 Coffee Break

The day before Thanksgiving is traditionally the busiest travel day of the year, and so we're looking for traveling songs of any kind today for the 9:30 Coffee Break. Travel in general, or going home ...

Songs played:
Willie Nelson "On The Road Again"
Creedence Clearwater Revival "Travelin' Band"
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes "Home"
Tom Waits "Long Way Home"
Roger Miller "King of the Road"
Ozzy Osbourne "Mama I'm Coming Home"
