Here are the songs we did for our "Route 66" program. I had a fourth/fifth grade combined choir, fourth grade choir, and fifth grade choir. We did the last two songs with all of the students combined.

all students (general traveling songs):
Come, Follow
Movin' On
Proud Mary
Across The Western Ocean
Can't Sit Down
Route 66
fourth grade:
Chicago
El-A-Noy
Meet Me In St. Louis, Louis
Way Out West In Kansas
Little Old Sod Shanty On The Plain
Oklahoma
Old Texas

fifth grade:
The Yellow Rose Of Texas
I'd Like To Be In Texas
New Mexico, We Love You
O, Fair New Mexico
Ragtime Cowboy Joe (for Arizona)
San Francisco
California Song
all students:
On The Road Again
God Bless The USA

I really had fun picking music to fit the traveling theme, and the kids learned quite a bit about Route 66 and the states it crosses. It was one of those programs that fit a lot of needs.
