'I want to ride it all night long' Drawing

Life's like a road that you travel on Where 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 these 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 hits 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 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 Life is a highway I want to ride it all night long Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah 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 Oh! There ain't no load that I can't hold Road so 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 (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) If you're going my way I want to drive it all night long A gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah 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 A gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah Life is a highway I want to ride it all night long If you're going my way I want to drive ya' all night long A gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah ‘Life Is a Highway’ by Tom Cochrane Songwriter: Thomas W. Cochrane "Life Is a Highway" is a song by Tom Cochrane from his second studio album, Mad Mad World (1991). The song became a number-one hit in Cochrane's native Canada in late 1991. "Life Is a Highway" also peaked at number six on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart in August 1992 and reached the top three in Australia and New Zealand that same year. The song was covered by Chris LeDoux for his 1998 album One Road Man and Rascal Flatts for the Cars soundtrack. Cochrane has stated that "Life Is a Highway" was originally conceived in the 1980s as "Love is a Highway" while he was still a member of Red Rider, but was shelved at that time because he felt the unfinished song was unusable. Following a trip with his family to Eastern Africawith the World Vision famine relief organization, Cochrane revisited the song on the advice of his friend John Webster, an instrumentalist on the Mad Mad World album. In a 2017 interview with The Canadian Press to mark the song's 25th anniversary, Cochrane said Webster encouraged him to revisit the demo recording, which at that point only had mumbled vocals and improvised lyrics, but not the song's well-known chorus. "(The song) became a pep talk to myself... saying you can’t really control all of this stuff, you just do the best you can," he says. Cochrane says he was trying to make sense of the poverty he witnessed on his trip, which he found "shocking and traumatic". Eventually, the original demo version was released on the 25th-anniversary reissue of Mad Mad World under the original title "Love is a Highway". He later said the uptempo spirit of the song came from looking for something positive to "hang the experience on.” Most of the vocals on the track were recorded in Cochrane's small home studio. The song was Cochrane's only top-40 hit in the United States, reaching number six on the Billboard Hot 100. In Canada, the song stayed at number one for two weeks, and three other singles from the album charted within the top 10; "No Regrets" peaked at number three, "Sinking Like a Sunset" reached number two, and "Washed Away" climbed to number seven. In Australia and New Zealand, the single peaked at number two in both countries. Elsewhere, it became a top-40 hit in Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden. Mad Mad World is the second studio album by Canadian rock singer Tom Cochrane, originally released in 1991. The first single from the album, "Life Is a Highway", became a hit in late 1991, reaching #1 in Canada and #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. The album earned Cochrane four Juno Awards including Album of the Year, Single of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year, and Songwriter of the Year. In addition, Cochrane won two SOCAN Awards and an ASCAP Award. Mad Mad World achieved a Diamond sales award in Canada for selling more than 1 million copies in Cochrane's native Canada. The album also included the hits "No Regrets" (#3 RPM Charts), "Sinking Like a Sunset" (#2 RPM Charts), "Washed Away" (#7 RPM Charts), "Bigger Man" and the title track "Mad Mad World". The album was produced by Joe Hardy and was recorded in Memphis, Tennessee and at three different Ontario studios: Metalworks Studios in Mississauga, Hungry Hollow Studio in Georgetown and at Cochrane's cabin in Oakville. Upon the album's initial releases in the U.S. and Canada, the album featured two different album covers. The original album cover (designed by Ralph Alfonso) was on the initial Canadian release in 1991, while the alternate album cover was on the U.S. release for the album in 1992. The alternate cover is now the main album cover for the album. In October 2016, Cochrane announced an expanded 25th-anniversary edition of the album would be released October 28. Included in the expanded album would be Life is a Highway, the original version of the album's first single, and a second disc featuring a concert recorded May 14, 1992, on the Mad Mad World Tour in Chicago, IL.
