life’s like the road that you travel on

there’s one day here and the next day gone

sometimes you bend , sometimes you stand

sometimes you turn your back to the wind
( G )
there’s a world outside every darkened door

where blues won’t haunt you anymore

come ride with me to the distant shore

( G )
through all these cities , and all these towns
( D )
it’s in my blood and in it’s all around
( A )
i love you now , like i loved you then;

this is the road , and these are the hands
( G )
from mozambique to those memphis nights
( D )
the khyber pass to vancouver’s lights
( A )
knock me down and up again

you’re in my blood , i’m not a lonely man

i’ll be there when the light comes in

just tell ’em we’re survivors
