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
