Title: Life is a highway
Singer: Rascal Flatts

[Lylics]

Whooo umm 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 ev'ry 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 hesitateTo break down the garden gate
There's not much time left today

[Chorus:]
Life is a highwayI wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my wayI wanna drive it all night long
Through all these cities and all these towns
It's in my blood and it's all aroundI love you now like
I loved you thenThis is the road and these are the hands
From Mozambique to those Memphis nights

The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights

Knock me down get 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 light comes in
Just tell 'em we're survivors

[Chorus]
Gimme gimme gimme gimme yeah
[Chorus]

There was a distance between you and I (between you and I)
A misunderstanding once
But now we look it in the eye
Ooooo...Yeah!
There ain't no load that I can't hold
Road so rough this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Just tell 'em we're survivors
[Chorus: (x3)]
Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night longIf you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long

Gimme gimme gimme gimme yeah

It's difficult for me to sing the words but I love the tunes.

I think this is a good song. Of course, this a cover. I think Rascal Flatts do mostly covers (maybe?). In any case, it is a very good travel song. The original is by Tom Cochrane. It was his only hit song that I know of. Here is the link:

What is your opinion of the original version? The Rascal Flatts have a smoother sound--more polished, but I like the roughness of Tom Cochrane's voice in the original, and of course, that harmonica part in the original rocks!

This was a really good choice for a travel song. I was really, really surprised to see/hear this song.

Nice call!
