"Heading Out to the Highway" is a song by English heavy metal band Judas Priest from their 1981 album Point of Entry.

The song was covered by American alternative metal band Stone Sour on their covers EP Meanwhile in Burbank..., and White Wizzard on the limited edition of Over the Top.

In the United States, the song peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Top Tracks chart.

[4] PopMatters said, "More cynical minds would call this "Living After Midnight Part Two", but it’s actually the superior song, rigidity replaced by a much more relaxed groove, its ebullience a clear reflection of the band’s Ibiza surroundings, where the album was written and recorded.

Perfectly suited for summertime listening, it’s nothing but fresh air and optimism, driven by a great opening riff.
