Life's Highway

After a delightfully wonderful, middle-aged lady that worked with me died of cancer in May of 2000, I started pondering life. I heard this recording one day on an album; "Harley Davidson Country Road Songs". The lyrics hit home...I now include it on CDs so I can hear it while I'm driving my ol' truck. It plays for me at least once most days, taking some of life's burdens off my shoulders and lifting my spirits just a bit.

Life's Highway - Performed by Steve Wariner
(R. Leigh, R. Murrah - 1985 MCA Records, Inc.)


Sun is up; time's at hand, there's a stir across the land
And so begins another day, on Life's Highway

On city streets, down country roads, like a stream the people flow
There's bread to win and tolls to pay, on Life's Highway

There is hope with every turn, a bridge to build, a bridge to burn
Here's hopin' you never go astray, on Life's Highway

We are young, then we're old, passin' thru then passin' on
Like the roses bloom and fade, on Life's Highway

Step by step, round and round, never knowing where we're bound
From the cradle to the grave, on Life's Highway

There is hope with every turn, a bridge to build, a bridge to burn
Here's hopin' you never go astray, on Life's Highway

Sun is up; time's at hand, there's a stir across the land
And so begins another day, on Life's Highway


Ponder it,
JD
