Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Born in the USA is the Springsteen album imprinted on me by my father.
Of Cash, also Ring of Fire? I want to sing along in the car, so I guess that's my criterion.

On the Road Again. I know it's on the nose, but it's also classic.

I'd also say Red Sovine is a must, though there are a lot of his songs that are appropriate.
Not road themed, but the Crystals are fun to sing along with and "Da Do Run Run" will get your foot tapping on the accelerator: [link]

I think both of these were on the Route 66 mixtape CD I made for our Christmas trip (since left in another rental car somewhere), which I believe is behind my cousin's request. That was our favorite of the bunch. "Road to Nowhere" is really the ultimate driving song.
But keep the suggestions coming. You are all giving me lots of good ideas.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Van Morrison's "Into The Mystic" is a quintessential mellow driving tune.
"Roll Me Away" - Bob Seger
"Hollywood Nights" - Bob Seger
"Hurtin' Albertan" - Corb Lund (this will be very useful in the prairies)
"I Can Get Us Out Of Here Tonight" - Lucero
