Top 7 Country Songs To Get You In Vacation Mode
7. “Thank Her For That” – Owen Barney
Bringing all the tropical beach vibes with this one, Owen Barney’s hit song “Thank Her For That” is a must have on the vacation list.
This extremely catchy song talks about a break up in the best way possible. By packing his bags and flying to Punta Cana, Owen’s ex is out of sight, out of mind and he can thank her for that.

5. “Getaway” – Brian John Harwood
Adding this song to the list is a no-brainer.
It’s all about the feeling of a getaway being in a person rather than a place; and with the uncertainty of travel right now, it’s important to find that similar vacation feeling in someone.

Sticking with the classic vacation vibe, I’m adding another song called “Getaway” to the list.

2. “Good Day to Get Gone” – Jason Blaine
I’m throwing it all the way back to 2008 with this Jason Blaine hit. The title “Good Day to Get Gone,” speaks for itself.
This song is timeless and offers the perfect vibe for just packing up the car, filling up the tank, and getting outta here; which is such a mood for everyone right now.
