Rascal Flatts – Life Is A Highway 

In the year 2006, when I was still in Secondary school learning, was the year this song “Life Is A Highway ” was released from the studio album “Me and My Gang.”

Well, it’s important to know that Rascal Flatts is an American country music band founded in 1999 in Nashville, Tennessee, USA. The group comprises talented singers and songwriters.

However, “Life Is A Highway” by Rascal Flatts is a meaningful song about life’s journey. This song uses the metaphor of a highway to describe how life is full of ups & downs, twists, turns and unexpected moments and challenges too.

Lyrics:

Woo

Hmm, 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 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

To break down the garden gate

There’s not much time left today, yeah

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

From Mozambique to those Memphis nights

The Khyber Pass to Vancouver’s lights

Knock me down, I’m back up again

You’re in my blood, I’m not a lonely man

There’s no load I can’t hold

The roads are rough, this I know

I’ll be there when the light comes in

Just tell ’em we’re survivors

Life is a highway

I wanna ride it all night long (Woo)

If you’re goin’ my way

I wanna drive it all night long (All night long)

A gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah

Life is a highway

I wanna ride it all night long (Hmm, yeah)

If you’re goin’ my way (You’re goin’ my way)

I wanna drive it all night long (All night long)

There was a distance between you and I (Between you and I)

A misunderstanding once

But now we look it in the eye

Ooh, yeah (Hmm, yeah)

There ain’t no load that I can’t hold

The roads are 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 (All night long, yeah)

If you’re goin’ my way

I wanna drive it all night long (A gimme, gimme, gimme, a gimme, gimme, yeah)

Life is a highway (Life is a highway)

I wanna ride it all night long (Woo, yeah)

If you’re goin’ my way (Goin’ my way)

I wanna drive it all night long (All night long, yeah; come on, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah)

Life is a highway

I wanna ride it all night long (Yeah, I wanna drive it all night long, baby)

If you’re goin’ my way (You’re goin’ my way)

I wanna drive it all night long (All night long)

…….THE END
