Song Lyrics

Life's like a road that you travel on
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 the 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

Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
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

Tennessee to the those L.A. nights
San Antonio to the Vegas lights
Knock me down, I'm 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 lights come in
Just tell 'em 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

There was a distance between you and I
A misunderstanding once but now
We look it in the eye

There ain't no load I can't hold
Road so rough this I know
I'll be there when the lights come in
Just tell 'em 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

Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long
