Life is a Highway

Life Is A Highway

Life's like a road that you travel on

When there's one day here an' 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 brave are free an' lovers soar

Come ride with me to the distant shore

We won't hesitate

Ta' break down the garden gate

There's not much time left today,

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

Through all these cities an' all these towns

It's in my blood an' it's all around

I love you now like I loved you then

This is the road an' these are the hands

From Mozambique to those Memphis nights

The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights

Knock me down, an' back up again

You're in my blood

I'm 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 'em we're survivors

There was a distance between you an' I

A misunderstanding once

But now we look it in the eye
