You Want Your Life To Be A Highway
Rewrite of the classic song, Life Is A Highway
Love's no road you wanna long travel on
Play it just too loose
You're there one day
And the next you're gone
You won't bend
For your own good
You won't even take a stand
Going gets rough
Her questions
Get just a little too tough
You're gone like the wind
There's a bigger world outside your door
Why do you chose to ignore?
Won't be brave
Won't be free
Love tries to get close
And like a wild bird
Away you soar
Away from me
Off to that distant shore
Baby, you always hesiate
Rather then break thru that golden gate
And it's starting to feel like
We're running outta time today
You want your life to be a highway
Will that really keep you warm all night long?
If you don't wise up
Get outta your own way
Well, you could be drivin' alone
Your whole life long
Through all these cities and all these towns
Has't it chilled your blood?
In your life
There's nothin' real around
I can't love you like this, no
If you can't even spare ten
Your choice
The road or my loving hands
From Mozambique to Memphis nights
The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's light
All over and all around
Then back again
Always the same ole thing
Don't it chill your blood?
When you think
You could die a lonely, old man
I'm no woman
You seem to want
Forever to hold
Romance is rough, this we both know
But don't you want someone there?
To bring a little light in
Each on our own
How can we be surviors?
You want your life to be a highway
Well, will that really keep you warm all night long?
If you don't get outta your own way
Well, you could be drivin' alone
Your whole life long
So why not try to
Love me, love me, love me, yeah
Chorus
Yeah
I'm no woman
You seem to want forever to hold
Romance is rough, this we both know
But don't you want someone there
To bring a little light in
Each on our own
How can we be survivors?
Chorus
Love me, love me, love me, yeah
You want your life to be a highway
Will that really keep you warm all night long?
Yeah, all night long
If you don't get outta your own way
Old, sad and lonely
You're gonna be drivin' it alone
Regrettin' all your life long
