The best journeys are usually the ones we take for fun.

Summer Holiday – Cliff Richard

We’re all going on a summer holiday.
No more working for a week or two.
Fun and laughter on a summer holiday.
No more worries for me and you.
For a week or two.

We’re going where the sun shines brightly.
We’re going where the sea is blue.
We’ve seen it in the movies.
Now let’s see if it’s true.

 

 

Holiday - Madonna

Holiday! Celebrate!
Holiday! Celebrate! 

If we took a holiday
Took some time to celebrate
Just one day out of life
It would be, it would be so nice

Sometimes we have no set destination and are just out to explore and let the road take us where it will.

Caravans – Mike Batt

Caravans
Oh, my soul is on the run
Overland
I am flying
Caravans
Moving out into the sun
Oh, I don't know where I'm going
But I'm going.

 

Road trippin’ - Red Hot Chilli Peppers

Road trippin' with my two favorite allies
Fully loaded we got snacks and supplies
It's time to leave this town
It's time to steal away
Let's go get lost
Anywhere in the U.S.A.

Let's go get lost
Let's go get lost
Blue you sit so pretty
West of the one
Sparkle light with yellow icing
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun

And of course the right travelling companion can make the journey all that more special!

Come Away with Me - Norah Jones

Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountaintop
Come away with me
And I'll never stop loving you

 

Some journeys are all about the goodbyes...

Leaving on a Jet Plane –  John Denver

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go
cause I’m leavin on a jet plane
Don’t know when Ill be back again

 

Shallow Waters – Just Jinjer

I'm leaving, tomorrow ...
And I don't know, why.
There's something, that's not right with my soul,
I have no goal, I have no goal.
I'm leaving shallow waters,
I'm leaving all my dreams of you,
I can't go on, I want to run away...
I think I'll go today.

 

...And others are all about the hellos and seeing loved ones again.

Get here if you can – Oleta Adams

You can reach me by railway, you can reach me by trailway
You can reach me on an airplane, you can reach me with your mind
You can reach me by caravan, cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here, just- get here if you can

 

I am sailing – Rod Stewart

I am sailing, I am sailing.
Home again, 'cross the sea.
I am sailing stormy waters
To be near you, to be free

I am flying, I am flying
Like a bird 'cross the sky
I am flying, passing high clouds
To be with you, to be free

And at the end of your travels, there’s no place like home…

Better be home soon – Crowded House

I know I’m right
For the first time in my life
That’s why I tell you
You’d better be home soon
That’s why I tell you
You’d better be home soon
