Life Is a Highway
Tom Cochrane Lyrics

Life's like a road that you travel on
Life is an unpredictable journey full of twists and turns

When there's one day here and the next day gone
Time flies by quickly and each moment is fleeting

Sometimes you bend sometimes you stand
Life puts you in challenging situations that require either resilience or determination

Sometimes you turn your back to the wind
Occasionally, you need to go against the flow to get closer to your goals

There's a world outside every darkened door
Beyond every obstacle or difficulty, there is a brighter future waiting for you

Where blues won't haunt you anymore
Where you will be free from all the negatives that bring you down

Where the brave are free and lovers soar
A place where courage and love are rewarded

Come ride with me to the distant shore
Join me in this adventure towards a new beginning

We won't hesitate break down the garden gate
We won't let any obstacles or boundaries stop us from achieving our dreams

There's not much time left today
Time is limited and we should make the most out of it

Life is a highway
Life is an adventurous and unpredictable journey

I want to ride it all night long
I am eager to embrace life and make the most out of it

If you're going my way
If you share my values and ambitions

Through all these cities and all these towns
Regardless of the places we go, life is present wherever we are

It's in my blood and it's all around
Life is part of my identity and surrounds me everywhere

I love you now like I loved you then
My love for you is timeless and unchanging

This is the road and these are the hands
This is the path we have chosen and we are responsible for our own destiny

From Mozambique to the Memphis nights
Our quest for adventure and meaning spans across different cultures and places

The Khyber pass to Vancouver's lights
Even the most extreme and distant locations have something in common - the presence of life and human experience

Knock me down get back up again
No matter how hard life knocks you down, you can rise back up

You're in my blood I'm not a lonely man
You are an integral part of my life and I am never alone

There's no load I can't hold
No matter how heavy the burden, I am capable of carrying it

Road so rough this I know
The journey of life can be bumpy and challenging, but I am ready to face it

I'll be there when the light comes in
I will be there to see the bright future that awaits us

Just tell 'em we're survivors
We have overcome many challenges and we are still here, standing strong

There was a distance between you and I
Our relationship was once strained and distant

A misunderstanding once but now we look it in the eye
We have resolved our differences and now face life together

There ain't no load that I can't hold
I am capable of facing any challenge or burden that comes my way

Gimme-gimme-gimme-gimme yeah
Expressing eagerness and enthusiasm towards embracing life
