[Verse 1]
G
Life's like the road that you travel on
D
There's one day here and the next day gone
A
Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the wind
G
There's a world outside every darkened door
D
Where blues won't haunt you anymore
A
Where the brave are free and lovers soar,
Come ride with me to the distant shore
Bm A
We won't hesitate to break down the garden gate
G E
There's not much time left today
[Chorus]
Bm A G D A G A
Life is a highway, I wanna ride it all night long
Bm A G D A G A
If you're going my way, I wanna drive it all night long
[Verse 2]
G
Through all these cities, and all these towns
D
It's in my blood and in it's all around
A
I love you now, like I loved you then;
This is the road, and these are the hands
G
From Mozambique to those memphis nights
D
The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's Lights
A
Knock me down and up again
You're in my blood, I'm not a lonely man
Bm A
There's no load I can hold, road's so rough, I know
G E
I'll be there when the light comes in
Just tell 'em we're survivors
