    This song was the song on the radio in the 90s. It’s in supermarkets, malls, stores, department stores, but best listen to in the car on road trips.

      Damn straight, mate! It's still one of the first songs on my playlist whenever I make a long drive. I've got it timed so if I start the playlist as I leave my driveway, this song will kick in right about the time I'm heading down the ramp to get on the freeway, lol!

    I doubt anyone will read this, but when this song came out I had just turned 15 and had hair just like Tom in this video. Every time this song would come on MTV, this girl that I had a crush on would call my house phone to tell me she was thinking of me. Over 30 years later and nostalgia kicks in hard with this song. Every time I hear it I am taken back to 1992, simpler times, great time to be a teenager. No distractions from cell phones, bullying on social media, growing up too fast ect. My friend had a car and we would just cruise around other small towns with no idea what was happening, by luck we would find a town carnival, or dance at a fire hall. I had this song on cassette single and I am sure it was played hundreds of times that summer. Thanks for reading my late night flashback.

The Robisons ( no n in the middle) were an excellent host family, Wendy, their mom is an exceptional lady, I've not seen her since 1993, and I hope she is doing great as well as both her son's, Bill, the young one, and Michael.

    Love it or hate it, Tom Cochrane’s version is what started it all.
    It’s a great song, and it has things the Rascal Flatts cover doesn’t have, like the Instrumental being more raw, and some of the rasp.
    I still think the Rascal Flatts version is better though, it took a great song and made it reach new heights.

    Was 14 when this song came out. I would sing to as loud as I could (favorite song). Today, 33years later and a metalhead, I STILL belt this song out when I hear it. This song was one of the few bright spots of my terrible childhood. This song is a legend. While I am pretty sure Tom Cochrane will never see this, Thank you for making a kid's awful life better through your music.

    In 1991, when the "Life Is A Highway" official music video was released, I was mesmerized with the amazing scenery and landscape featured in the video. Six years later, I found myself immersed in that landscape, all summer long. It was the best summer ever! The Hoodoos, the Bleriot Ferry, the Star Mine Suspension Bridge, Orkney Viewpoint, Horseshoe Canyon, Horsethief Canyon, and of course the Royal Tyrrell Museum. Alberta's Badlands are beautiful and every Canadian should take the time to drive along the Dinosaur Trail. Be sure to set "Life Is A Highway" on repeat and crank up the volume! #Drumheller
