“Life Is A Highway” lyrics
Well, 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 windThere’s a world outside every darkened door
Where Blues won’t haunt you anymore
For the brave are free and lovers soar
Come ride with me to the distant shoreWe won’t hesitate
To break down the guarding gate
There’s not much time left today, yeayLife is a highway, I wanna ride it
All night long
If you’re going my way, I wanna drive it
All night longThrough all these cities and all these towns
It’s in my blood and it’s all around
I love 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 lightsThey 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
The road’s so rough this I know
I’ll be there when the light comes in
Just tell ’em we’re survivorsLife is a highway, I wanna ride it
All night long
If your going my way, I wanna drive it
All night longGimme, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, yeah
Life is a highway, I wanna ride it
All night long (mmmm yeah)
If your going my way, I wanna drive it
All night longThere was a distance between you and I
(between you and I)
A misunderstanding once
But now, we look it in the eyeOoooo…Yeah!
There ain’t no load that I can’t hold
The road’s so rough this I know
I’ll be there when the light comes in
Just tell ’em we’re survivorsLife is a highway, I wanna ride it
All night long (all night long, yeah hey)
If your going my way, I wanna drive it
All night longLife is a highway, I wanna ride it
All night long
If your going my way, I wanna drive it
All night longLife is a highway, I wanna ride it
All night long
If your going my way, I wanna drive it
All night longGimme, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, yeah
