Life Is a Highway
Rascal Flatts Lyrics

Life's like the road that you travel on
Life is comparable to a road that one must traverse

When there's one day here and the next day gone
Life goes by quickly; one day you are alive, and the next you may be gone

Sometimes you bend and sometimes you stand
In life, one can either be resilient and bounce back or stubbornly withstand a situation

Sometimes you turn your back to the wind
At times in life, you stand up against the force of nature and insist on going your own way

There's a world outside every darkened door
Beyond a life of tribulation, there is a world full of opportunities and joy waiting for you

Where blues won't haunt you anymore
In that world, the troubles that have plagued you in the past will cease to exist

Where the brave are free and lovers soar
In this wonderful world, the brave are free to live as they please and lovers can thrive

Come ride with me to the distant shore
Join me on a journey to discover and explore this better place

We won't hesitate
We will act boldly, without fear or hesitation

To break down the garden gate
We'll break down any barrier blocking our path

There's not much time left today
It's important to take action now, because we don't have much time left in the day (or in life)

Life is a highway
Life is like a highway with twists, turns, and different paths one can take

I wanna ride it all night long
I want to experience all that life has to offer for as long as I'm alive

If you're going my way
If you're on the same journey as me

Well, I wanna drive it all night long
I want to take control of my life and experience everything it has to offer

Through all these cities and all these towns
As we travel through various cities and towns

It's in my blood and it's all around
The journey is a part of who I am and is always present in my life

I love you now like I loved you then
My love for you is as strong now as it was in the past

This is the road and these are the hands
This is our journey and we have the strength and power to travel it together

From Mozambique to those Memphis nights
From Mozambique to the late nights in Memphis, we have traveled far and wide

The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights
We passed through the rugged terrain of Khyber Pass and the beautiful city of Vancouver

Knock me down and back up again
Life will knock you down, but you can always get back up again

You're in my blood, I'm not a lonely man
You are an essential part of my life and therefore, I'm not alone

There's no load I can't hold
I am capable of carrying any burden life throws my way

A road so rough, this I know
Life is not always smooth and easy; it can be rugged and challenging

I'll be there when the light comes in
I will be there to see the brighter side of life

Just tell 'em we're survivors
We have been through tough times and emerged on the other side

There was a distance between you and I (between you and I)
We had disagreements and were emotionally distant at times

A misunderstanding once
We had a disagreement that caused the distance between us

But now we look it in the eye, ooh, yeah
We have faced our issues head-on and resolved them

There ain't no load that I can't hold
I am strong and capable; there is no obstacle that I cannot overcome

Come on, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah
I want to experience all that life has to offer and am ready to receive it
