Life Is a Highway
Cars Karaoke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When there's one day here & 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 & lovers soar
Come ride with me to the distant shore
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 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
From Mozambique to those Memphis nights
The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights
Knock me down & 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
Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long
(All night long)
Gimme gimme gimme gimme yeah
Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
(Oooo, yeah)
If you′re going my way
(If you're going my way)
I wanna drive it all night long
(All night long)
There was a distance between you & I (between you & I)
A misunderstanding once
But now we look it in the eye
Ooooo . Yeah!
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
Tell 'em we're survivors
Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
(All night long, yeah)
If you′re going my way
I wanna drive it all night long
Gimme gimme gimme gimme
Gimme gimme, yeah
Life is a highway (life is a highway)
I wanna ride it all night long
(Ooooh, yeah)
If you′re going my way
(If you're going my way)
I wanna drive it (all night long, yeah) all night long (all night long)
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 going my way
(If you′re going my way)
I wanna drive it all night long
All night loooong

Sometimes you turn your back to the wind
You face obstacles and challenges in life
There's a world outside every darkened door
There is always hope and opportunity
Where blues won't haunt you anymore
A place where sadness and troubles won't follow
Where the brave are free & lovers soar
A place where courageous people and lovers can be themselves
Come ride with me to the distant shore
Let's journey together to new places
We won't hesitate
We won't be afraid to take risks
To break down the garden gate
To overcome obstacles that stand in our way
There's not much time left today. yeah
Time is precious
Life is a highway
Life is an adventure
I wanna ride it all night long

If you're going my way
If you share my values and goals
Through all these cities and all these towns

It's a part of who I am and my surroundings
I love you now like I loved you then
My love for you is constant

But now we face our problems head-on
There ain't no load that I can't hold
I am capable of handling any challenge
Tell 'em we're survivors
Tell people that we have overcome hardships
C'mon Gimme gimme gimme gimme

All night long
Throughout the entire journey
