Music To Inspire You
Welcome To
Music Moves Me!
This Week’s Theme – Songs About Cars

If you love music and sharing your favorite songs with others, I invite you to join us for Music Moves Me! This week’s theme is Songs About Cars OR Songs That Mention A Particular Type Of Car Or Truck!

This is one of those categories that – once you stop to think about it – opens up a floodgate of possibilities!

After coming up with a bunch of songs that mention vehicles in their titles, I decided to go the less obvious route and pick a song that includes a particular type of car or truck in the lyrics – but you have to listen for it!

So – with that said – I am featuring one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite singers!

Thunder Road – Bruce Springsteen

Enjoy the music and have a wonderful week!
