LIFE IS A HIGHWAY - TOM COCHRANE

VERSE 1:
LIFE'S LIKE A ROAD THAT YOU TRAVEL ON
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

REFRAIN 1:
WE WON'T HESITATE
BREAK DOWN THE GARDEN GATE
THERE'S NOT MUCH TIME LEFT TODAY

CHORUS:
[3RD TIME ONLY] MM
LIFE IS A HIGHWAY
I WAN' RIDE IT ALL NIGHT LONG
[3RD TIME ONLY] GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME YEAH
[4TH & 6TH TIMES ONLY] YEAH YEAH YEAH, YEAH
IF YOU'RE GOING MY WAY
I WANNA DRIVE IT ALL NIGHT LONG
[4TH,5TH & 6TH TIMES ONLY] GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME YEAH

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 'N' BACK UP AGAIN
YOU'RE IN MY BLOOD I'M NOT A LONELY MAN

REFRAIN 2:
THERE'S NO LOAD I CAN'T HOLD
NO ROAD SO ROUGH, THIS I KNOW
I'LL BE THERE WHEN THE LIGHT COMES IN
JUST TELL 'EM WE'RE SURVIVORS

CHORUS...
[2 TIMES]

BRIDGE:
THERE WAS A DISTANCE BETWEEN YOU AND I
A MISUNDERSTANDING ONCE BUT NOW
WE LOOK IT IN THE EYE
OHHH...

SOLO...
...MMMM...

REFRAIN 2...
THERE AIN'T NO LOAD, THAT I CAN'T HOLD
ROAD SO ROUGH...

CHORUS...
[3 TIMES]

SOLO...
