Life is a Highway

“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, we won’t hesitate, break down the garden gate, there’s not much left today. Life is a highway, I want to ride it all night long. If you’re going my way, I want to drive it all night long” – Tom Cochrane (Life is a Highway)
