Lyrics
(Note: Bolded lyrics are not in the movie)
- [Intro]
- Woo!
- Hmm, yeah!
- [Verse 1]
- 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
- Where blues won't haunt you anymore
- Where the brave are free and lovers soar
- Come ride with me to the distant shore
- [Pre-Chorus]
- We won't hesitate
- To break down the garden gate
- There's not much time left today, yeah
- [Chorus]
- Life is a highway!
- I wanna ride it all night long!
- If you're goin' my way
- I wanna drive it all night long!
- [Verse 2]
- 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, I'm back up again
- You're in my blood, I'm not a lonely man
- [Pre-Chorus]
- There's no load I can't hold
- The roads are rough, this I know
- I'll be there when the light comes in
- Just tell 'em we're survivors
- [Chorus]
- Life is a highway!
- I wanna ride it all night long! (Woo)
- If you're goin' my way
- I wanna drive it all night long! (All night long)
- A gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah
- Life is a highway!
- I wanna ride it all night long! (Hmm, yeah)
- If you're goin' my way (You're goin' my way)
- I wanna drive it all night long! (All night long)
- [Bridge]
- There was a distance between you and I (Between you and I)
- A misunderstanding once
- But now we look it in the eye
- Ooh, yeah (Hmm, yeah)
- [Instrumental Break]
- [Refrain]
- There ain't no load that I can't hold
- The roads are rough, this I know
- I'll be there when the light comes in
- Tell 'em we're survivors
- [Chorus]
- Life is a highway!
- I wanna ride it all night long! (All night long, yeah!)
- If you're goin' my way
- I wanna drive it all night long! (A gimme, gimme, gimme, a gimme, gimme, yeah!)
- Life is a highway! (Life is a highway!)
- I wanna ride it all night long! (Woo, yeah!)
- If you're goin' my way (Goin' my way)
- I wanna drive it all night long! (All night long, yeah; come on, 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 goin' my way (You're goin' my way)
- !I wanna drive it all night long! (All night long!)
