Life Is a Highway - Tom Cochrane

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

Life's like a road that you travel on 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 We won't hesitate 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 goin' 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 Tennessee to those L.A. nights San Anton to the Vegas 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 lights come in Just tell 'em we're survivors Life is a highway I wanna ride it all night long If you're goin' my way I wanna drive it all night long There was a distance between you and I A misunderstanding once but now We look it in the eye There ain't no load I can't hold Road so rough this I know I'll be there when the lights come in Just tell 'em we're survivors Life is a highway I wanna ride it all night long If you're goin' my way I wanna drive it all night long Life is a highway I wanna ride it all night long If you're goin' my way I wanna drive it all night long

I've got a reason And it sounds like this Everything has it's season Well let's bless it with a kiss babe I'll be there for you I'll be your rainy day man Everytime the devil laughs out loud When we make our big plans And you might come to realize What you haven't missed yet When everyone's searching for fortune and fame It's been right in front of you all of the time Everything comes round and round What goes up must soon come down Just remember this my friend The next time that it looks like rain I heard a rumbling It was a frightening sound We thought the world was crumbling It was just our wheels spinning round You might see more action Born in another age You'll get more satisfaction If you don't expect it that way You might come to realize What you haven't missed yet When everyone's searching for fortune and fame Well it's been right in your face all of the time Everything comes round and round What goes up must soon come down Just remember this my friend The next time that it looks like rain Everything comes round and round What goes up must soon come down Just remember this my friend The next time that it looks like rain I look down the street And I see the young Matadors The debutantes from Richmond Decked out in their fine clothes It's bred in the bone A tireless search The junkyard keeps whispering "Who'll get there first" Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Everything comes round and round What goes up must soon come down You just remember this my friend The next time that it looks like rain Everything comes round and round What goes up must soon come down But just remember this my friend The next time that it looks like rain The next time that it looks like rain The next time that it looks like rain, again Everything comes round and round What goes up must soon come down Just remember this my friend The next time that it looks like rain Everything comes round and round What goes up must soon come down But just remember this my friend The next time that it looks like rain The next time that it looks like rain The next time that it looks like rain

Lunatic Fringe I know you're out there You're in hiding And you hold your meetings I can hear you comin' I know what your after We're wise to you this time We won't let you kill the laughter Uh huh Uh huh Uh huh Lunatic fringe In the twilight's last gleaming This is open season But you won't get too far Cause you gotta blame someone For your own confusion We're on guard this time Against your final solution Oh no Uh huh Uh huh Uh huh We can hear you comin' No, you're not gonna win this time (Not gonna win) We can hear the footsteps Way out along the walkway (Out along the walkway) Lunatic fringe We all know you're out there Can you feel the resistance Can you feel the thunder

Moving out, can you see that shine Feel the change as you roll on down the line Where the shore fires burn out on a new frontier Where the past don't haunt you and there's Nothing else to fear Baby don't you hold out too long They might not let you be (CHORUS) Movin' out feel the wind in your hair Where the sun shines at night, I can take you there To the land of the midnight sun, Ragged Ass Road I carried you, you carried me Nothin' we can't hold, nothing we can't be They've taken everything and what have they put back I really don't give a damn 'cause there's nothin here that we lack Baby don't you hold out too long They might not set you free (CHORUS) They might not want to let you see They can't hold on, as your soul might not let you be, Stand back while it burns For the midnight sun Ragged Ass Road All the time, again and again Standin' out where you might see them shine Oh did you find the midnight sun Down on Ragged Ass Road Are you out there everybody out there with me Shout it out, shout it out there, one more time To the land of the midnight sun Ragged Ass Road She's a dandy, yeah you bet There's some things that you haven't seen yet In the land of the midnight sun Ragged Ass Road
