Summer time is upon us. It’s the season of BBQ, pools, beaches, and carefree sunny days. This is also known as PCS season.

A season of chucking all of your earthly possessions into a truck hopefully headed for a new duty station, repeatedly throwing your kids some chicken nuggets in the back row for the 32-hour drive, and reminding yourself that you won’t get any of your husband’s SGLI if you murder him for stopping for the 500,000th time for a pee break.

Here’s a playlist to blast over your partner’s podcasts and your kids’ seventh repeat of Incredibles 2:

1. “On the Road Again” by Willie Nelson

“On the road again

Goin’ places that I’ve never been

Seein’ things that I may never see again

And I can’t wait to get on the road again”

2. “Good Riddance” by Green Day

“Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road

Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go

So make the best of this test and don’t ask why

It’s not a question, but a lesson learned in time”

3. “Life is a Highway” by Rascal Flatts

“Through all these cities and all these towns

It’s in my blood, and it’s all around

I love you now like I loved you then

This is the road, and these are the hands”

4. “Home” by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes

“Home, let me go home

Home is wherever I’m with you”

5. “I and Love and You” by Avett Brothers

“Load the car and write the note

Grab your bag and grab your coat

Tell the ones that need to know

We are headed north”

6. “Tiny Dancer” by Elton John

“Hold me closer tiny dancer

Count the headlights on the highway

Lay me down in sheets of linen

You had a busy day today”

7. “Come to Me” by Goo Goo Dolls

“Come to me my sweetest friend

Can you feel my heart again

I’ll take you back where you belong

And this will be our favorite song”

8. “I Don’t Care” by Ed Sheerhan featuring Justin Beiber

“Cause I don’t care, as long as you just hold me near

You can take me anywhere

And you’re making me feel like I’m loved by somebody”

9. “Don’t Stop Me Now” by Queen

“I’m a shooting star, leaping through the sky

Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity

I’m a racing car, passing by like Lady Godiva

I’m gonna go, go, go

There’s no stopping me”

10. “Hold On” by Walk off the Earth

“We ain’t rich but we’re worth a lot, babe

I wanna see the world with your hand in mine”

11. “Marchin’ On” by One Republic

“For all of the plans we made

There isn’t a flag I’d wave

Don’t care where we’ve been

I’d sink us to swim

We’re marchin’ on”

12. “One Man Band” by Old Dominion

“I don’t wanna be a one man band

I don’t wanna be a rolling stone, alone

Puttin’ miles on a run-down van

Baby, we can take our own show on the road”

13. “Guiding Light” by Mumford and Sons

“’Cause even when there is no star in sight

You’ll always be my only guiding light”

14. “Boxes” by Goo Goo Dolls

”Wherever you take me it’s clear I will go

Your love’s the one love that I need to know”
