I basicly get the person in the song is taking life by the horns and living it up to it fullest because life is short...and good if you want to go along with me and if you dont want to then get out of my way....thats how I have always known the song to mean for me
and call me crazy but I dont see anything mentioning oregon in the song...unless I dont see it...please correct me... :)
Tom Cochrane Life Is A Highway Lyrics
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 time 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
Through all the cities and all these towns
It's in my blood and it's all around
I loved you now like I loved you then
This is the road and these are the hills
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
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 want to ride it all night long
If you're going my way I want to drive it all night long...
There was a distance between you and I
A misunderstanding once, but now we look it in the eye
There ain't load I can't hold
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 want to ride it all night long
If you're going my way I want to drive it all night long
