Intro Lyrics - Flatt And Scruggs

Life's like a road that you travel on 

When there's one day here and the next day gone 

Sometimes you bend and 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 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 

Life is a highway 

I wanna ride it all night long 

If you're going 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 and back up again 

You're in my blood; I'm not a lonely man 

There's no load I can't hold 

A road so 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 

If you're going my way 

I wanna drive it all night long 

Life is a highway 

I wanna ride it all night long 

If you're going my way 

I wanna drive it all night long 

There was a distance between you and I 

A misunderstanding once 

But now we look in the eye 

There ain't no load that I can't hold 

A road so 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 

If you're going my way 

I wanna drive it all night long 

Life is a highway 

I wanna ride it all night long 

If you're going my way 

I wanna drive it all night long 

Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah 

Life is a highway 

I wanna ride it all night long 

If you're going my way 

I wanna drive it all night long
