Life's like a road that you travel on
There's one day here and the next day gone
Sometimes you bend; sometimes you stand; sometimes you turn your back to the wind
There's a world outside every darkened door
Where blues won't haunt you anymore
Where the brave are free and lovers soar, come ride with me to the distant shore

We won't hesitate to break down the garden gate
There's not much time left today

Life is a highway, I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way, I wanna drive it all night long

Through all these cities, and all these towns
It's in my blood and in it's all around
I love you now, like I loved you then;
This is the road, and these are the hands
From Mozambique to those Memphis nights
The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's Lights
Knock me down and back up again
You're in my blood, I'm not a lonely man

There's no load I can't hold, a road so rough, this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Just tell 'em we're survivors

Life is a highway, I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way, I wanna drive it all night long
Life is a highway, I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way, I wanna drive it all night long

There was a distance between you and I (between you and I)
A misunderstanding once, but now we look it in the eye

There ain't no load that I can't hold, a road so rough, this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Tell 'em we're survivors

Life is a highway I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way, I wanna drive it all night long
Life is a highway I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way, I wanna drive it all night long
Life is a highway I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way, I wanna drive it all night long
