Life Is a Highway
Rascal Flatts (Cars) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Life's like a road that you travel on
When there's one day here and the next day gone
Sometimes you bend and 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 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

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 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
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
Life is a 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 and I
A misunderstanding once
But now we look in the eye

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
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long
Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, 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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Rascal Flatts’ “Life Is A Highway” convey the idea that life is a journey, and our experiences and encounters along the way shape us. The metaphor of life being a highway is one that has been used by many artists, but Rascal Flatts brings a unique flavor to it. The opening lines “Life's like a road that you travel on, when there's one day here and the next day gone” highlight the fleeting nature of life itself. The song acknowledges that life can lead us in different directions, and it is up to us to navigate the road’s twists and turns.


The chorus of “Life Is A Highway” emphasizes the importance of companionship and having someone to share the journey with. The lines “Life is a highway, I wanna ride it all night long, If you're going my way, I wanna drive it all night long” suggest that we don't want to travel through life alone. As the song progresses, the idea of redemption and second chances is introduced. The lines “There was a distance between you and I, A misunderstanding once, But now we look in the eye” reflect a desire to make amends with the people that we may have hurt or had a falling out with.

Life is a journey with ups and downs


When there's one day here and the next day gone
Time flies by quickly


Sometimes you bend and sometimes you stand
You face difficulties and overcome them


Sometimes you turn your back to the wind
Sometimes you need to take a break and rest


There's a world outside every darkened door
There are opportunities beyond obstacles


Where blues won't haunt you anymore
Where you can be free from worries


Where brave are free and lovers soar
Where you can be courageous and experience love


Come ride with me to the distant shore
Join me on this journey to explore new horizons


We won't hesitate
We won't be afraid


To break down the garden gate
To overcome barriers blocking our path


There's not much time left today
Time is limited, so let's make the most of it


Life is a highway
Life is like a road, constantly moving forward


I wanna ride it all night long
I want to experience life to the fullest


If you're going my way

I love you now like I loved you then
My love for you is constant


This is the road, and these are the hands
This is our journey, and we're in it together


From Mozambique to those Memphis nights
From faraway places to familiar memories


The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights
From ancient paths to modern cities


Knock me down and back up again
I am resilient and never give up


You're in my blood; I'm not a lonely man
You are always with me, and I am not alone

A road so rough this I know
Life can be tough, but I persevere


I'll be there when the light comes in
I will be there in good times and bad


Tell 'em we're survivors
Let everyone know we have overcome challenges


There was a distance between you and I
We were once distant from each other


A misunderstanding once
We had a disagreement in the past


But now we look in the eye
But now we understand each other


Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah
Expressing excitement to live life to the fullest

@@marklopez7775 BIBLE calls us all to be real, sober minded souls, who live holy lives on earth.
BIBLE calls nor expect nobody to be:
- religious of any kind
- monk
- nun
BIBLE expect us to turn our LACK OF KNOWLEDGE into KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH (HOSEA 4:6)
Each human life on earth:
- repent
- BORN AGAIN and GO AND SIN NO MORE
- be baptised in HOLY SPIRIT /THE COMFORTER
- LIVE HOLY
= soul, after earthly death in HEAVEN. Easy logic, asks no degree in anything.

Bible calls us to give out RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT, no to keep our mouth shut and support everything with blind eyes and deaf ears.

See no evil, speak no evil and hear no evil – that old saying, it belongs to masons, am I right again? The vow of silence of theirs.

SOULS, dare to read and study BIBLE (KJV) and search about FREEMASONRY.

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
