Lyrics

 * Whoo! Mmm, yeah


 * 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 To break down the garden gate There's not much time left today, yeah


 * Life is a highway I wanna ride it all night long If you're goin' my way Well, 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


 * 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


 * There's no load I can't hold A road so rough, this I know I'll be there when the light comes in Just tell 'em we're survivors


 * Life is a highway I wanna ride it all night long (whoo!) If you're goin' my way I wanna drive it all night long (all night long)


 * A-gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah


 * Life is a highway Well, I wanna ride it all night long, mmm, yeah If you're goin' my way (if you're goin' my way) I wanna drive it all night long (all night long)


 * 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 (whoo!)


 * There ain't no load that I can't hold A road so rough, this I know I'll be there when the light comes in Tell 'em we're survivors


 * Life is a highway Well, I wanna ride it all night long (all night long, yeah) If you're goin' my way Well, I wanna drive it all night long


 * A-gimme, gimme, gimme A-gimme, gimme, yeah


 * Life is a highway (life is a highway) I wanna ride it all night long, whoo, ooh, yeah If you're goin' my way (if you're goin' my way) I wanna drive it all night long (all night long, yeah)


 * C'mon, gimme, gimme, gimme Gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah


 * Life is a highway I wanna ride it all night long (Yeah, I wanna drive it all night long, baby) If you're goin' my way (if you're goin' my way) I wanna drive it all night long (all night long)
