Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Life's 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
[Verse 2]
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
[PreChorus]
We won't hesitate
To break down the garden gate
There's not much time left today, hey
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[PreChorus]
There's no load I can't hold
Or road so rough, this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Just tell 'em we're survivors
[Chorus]
Life is a highway
Well, I wanna ride it all night long, woo!
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long
(All night long) Ah, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah
[Chorus]
Life is a highway
Well, I wanna ride it all night long, mmm, yeah
If you're going my way (If you're going my way)
I wanna drive it all night long (All night long)
[Bridge]
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, mmm, yeah
[Verse 5]
There ain't no load that I can't hold
Or road so rough, this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Tell 'em we're survivors
[Chorus]
Life is a highway
Well, I wanna ride it all night long (All night long, yeah)
If you're going my way
Well, I wanna drive it all night long
Ah, gimme, gimme, gimme, ah gimme, gimme, yeah
[Chorus]
Life is a highway (Life is a highway)
I wanna ride it all night long (Ooh, yeah)
If you're going my way (If you're going my way)
I wanna drive it all night long (All night long, yeah)
Come on, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah
[Outro]
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 (If you're going my way)
I wanna drive it all night long (All night long)
