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 the 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 to break down the garden gate
There's not much time left today.

Refrain:
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 loved you now like I loved you then
This is the road and these are the hands
From Mozambique to those Memphis nights
To 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
Just tell 'em we're survivors.

Refrein (2x).

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

There ain't no load that 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.

Refrein (3x).
