Honkin' Down the Highway è un brano musicale scritto da Brian Wilson per il gruppo pop rock statunitense The Beach Boys. La canzone venne inclusa nell'album della band Love You del 1977, e pubblicata come singolo (lato B Solar System) nello stesso anno.

Il brano

Il brano è cantato da Al Jardine. Un remake della canzone fu poi inclusa nel suo album A Postcard from California, con la partecipazione straordinaria di Brian Wilson.

Una versione leggermente tagliata del pezzo, nel quale l'introduzione di batteria venne eliminata, fu pubblicata su singolo. Nel 1991, la versione del singolo fu inserita nella ristampa in formato CD e cassetta di The Beach Boys Love You su etichetta Caribou Records.
