Life is like a road that you travel on
When 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
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 get back up again
You’re in my blood I am not a lonely man
There’s no load I can’t hold
Road so rough this I know
I’ll be there when the light comes in
Just tell them we are 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
Give me give me give me give me yeah
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
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
Just tell them 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
Give me give me give me give me yeah
Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you’re going my way
I wanna drive it all night long
Come on. Give me give me give me give me 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
