From the hills to Kaycee, Wyoming Where life's wooly and wild Came an Air Force brat In a cowboy hat And that Copenhagen smile And from bucking broncs To honky tonks He always sang a cowboy's song We were much too 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 that crowd explodes And them pickup men are at your side They tell you good ride cowboy, good ride From gold buckles to gold records Well once again he was spinning '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 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 that crowd explodes And them pickup men are at your side They tell you good ride cowboy, good ride (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 that crowd explodes And them pickup men are at your side They tell you good ride cowboy, good ride I bet he crossed that river Jordan With St. Peter on the other side Singing good ride cowboy, good ride Good ride cowboy, good ride
