  • Life's like the road that you travel on
    When there's one day here and the next day gone
    Sometimes you bend and 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
    Well, I wanna drive it all night long

    Through all these cities and all these towns
    It's in my blood and 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
    Well, I wanna ride it all night long
    If you're going my way
    I wanna drive it all night long (all night long)
    Uh, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah

    Life is a highway
    Well, I wanna ride it all night long (mm, yeah)
    If you're going my way
    I wanna drive it all night long (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, ooh, yeah

    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
    Well, I wanna ride it all night long (all night long, yeah, yeah)
    If you're going my way
    Well, I wanna drive it all night long
    (Uh, gimme, gimme, gimme, uh, gimme, gimme, yeah)
    Life is a highway (life is a highway)
    I wanna ride it all night long (ooh, ooh, yeah)
    If you're going my way
    I wanna drive it all night long
    (Come on, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah)
    Life is a highway
    I wanna ride it all night long
    (Yeah, I wanna drive it all night long, baby)
    If you're going my way
    I wanna drive it all night long (all night long) Writer/s: Thomas William Cochrane
