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 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, break down the garden gate There's not much time left today
[Chorus:] Life is a highway I want to ride it all night long If you're going my way I want to 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 know 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'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 Tell 'em we're survivors
[Chorus x2]
There was a distance between you and I A misunderstanding once but now We look it in the eye
There's no load I can't hold Road so rough this I know I'll be there when the light comes in Tell 'em we're survivors
