From the hills of Kaycee, Wyoming, Where life's wooly and wild Came a Air Force brat, in a cowboy hat And that Copenhagen smile And from buckin' broncs to honky tonks He always sang a cowboy song We were much to young, having too much fun As we all sang along And we sang Life's a Highway There's only one way you're gonna get through it When she starts to twist, be more like Chris Pull your hat down tight, and just LeDoux it When that whistle blows, and the crowd explodes And them pickup-men are at your side They tell you "Good ride, cowboy, good ride" (Take a ride) Well gold buckles to gold records Once again he was spinnin' round Took the whole world on, and he turned us on To that Western underground And from bareback jack to this cowboy's hat The songs were stronger than his pain He would not slow down, from town to town Like children running through the rain And he sang Life's a Highway There's only one way you're gonna get through it When she starts to twist, be more like Chris Pull your hat down tight, and just LeDoux it When that whistle blows, and that crowd explodes And them pickup-men are at your side They tell you "Good ride, cowboy, good ride" We sang Life's a Highway There's only one way you're gonna get through it (yeah!) When she starts to twist, be more like Chris Pull your hat down tight ("let me have it!"), and just LeDoux it When that whistle blows, and that crowd explodes And them pickup-men are at your side They tell you "Good ride, cowboy, good ride" Then he crossed that River Jordan With St. Peter on the other side Singin' "Good ride, cowboy, good ride" Say "Good ride, cowboy, good ride!"
