Life Is a Highway
Home Free Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Life's like a road that you travel on
When there's one day next day gone
Sometimes you bend and Sometimesyou 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 distance shore
We won't hesitate
To break down the garden gate
There's not much time left today
Life is 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 & I
A misunderstanding once
But now we look it in the eye
Life is highway
I wanna ride it all night long
Oh I want to ride it
If you're going my way I wanna drive it
all night long
Life is highway
I wanna ride it all night long




If you're going my way I wanna drive it
all night long

I met you guys back in Sing Off. This feels like a nostalgic moment for me. THANK YOU

@deanmarion5477

What about this: I Deserve A Drink by Morgan Wallen, we want Adam Chance to take full lead, will used his rustic distortion but controlled with some lower and higher register, high harmony by: Austin Brown, Rob Lundquit, Tim Foust will used mixed of chest and growl for the bassline.

@fionaedwards6216

Said it before, you guys don't do covers, you do upgrades. This was fantastic. Love the video, the faces you were making really funny, at one point Chance looked like Popeye, and Adam's growl at the beginning, sent shivers down my spine. You just get better and better with each song and video. You're all awesome ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Can't believe it's been 10 years since they won on Sing Off. I loved their tight harmonies. They are singing even better now.❤

@MasonLogan-tx5ut

Hello Peggy. How are you doing?

@ColtonRMagby

Home Free's songs are a highway with on-ramps ONLY. I've been on it for a while, and I'm STILL not out of gas.

@annehffry3284

Best comment! So true

@janette7330

We hope they have A LOT more gasoline in their tank, it wouldn't be the same if Home Free weren't on the Highway!

@sherrydigiorgio3504

Love their music as well as their sense of humor. ❤❤❤
