  • I love both versions.  They're very different, but they both work!

  • Rascal Flatts are a bunch of douchebags. Wish all these new bands would quit ridin coat tails and make a name for themselves... not just extra cash.

  • Rascal Flatts are a bunch of douchebags. Wish all these new bands would quit ridin coat tails and make a name for themselves... not just extra cash.. to the above song \m/

  • " LOUDER " !!

  • omg what a fag version maybe its the orginal. but the singer suck. i cant here what he is singing how much drugs did he take... he need too singlouder. rascall are much better the song mach too there voices. this guy tom are just a douch bag who cant sing

  • Rascall Flatts version is way better than this piece of crap. I don't care if this is the orginal version, this isn't music, this is shit.

    1 big dislike from me -.-

  • Oh my god please tell me she's wearing Gitanos. I had such a crush on Cochrane. And every other remotely attractive male with a nice voice. Fufufufufu I was a young girl :D

  • please no offensive replys but i think that the rascal's version is much better than this guy saying not singing the verses, and with scarcity of background sound, and instruments.

  • Tom Cochrane is the boss

  • OMG! She's wearing "mom jeans" !!LOL!

  • cool!!

  • what is the original?

  • @mikanurmi WTF r u stupid

  • @mikanurmi This is the original. Tom Cochran write it actually. :-)

  • @mikanurmi this !

  • this is great, but i think i prefer the rascal flatts cover. i dont think it sounds very good with him basically whispering the verses

  • agree

  • GREAT ARTIST WRITE THEIR ON STUFF

  • rascal flatts shite

  • other version is better this one is to silent

  • feeling happy song :D

  • 11 rascal flatts fans

  • Awesome!!!!!

  • makes me so unbelievable happy :D!!

  • THIS ROCKS!

  • if you dont like tom cochrane dont watch the video simple as that

  • i gotta say Rascal Flatts verion or Mr. Cochrane's verion are both good why fighting over good singers

  • @elner123

    this was 20 years ago, different century STFU&GTFO!

  • @ThEmOsTpRoMiScUoS so 20 years ago it sucks now it still sucks. so.. i guess theres no difference in time MODAFUCKUUUUU

  • @elner123

    if you say so :D ...nevermind

  • who is the girl on the video?

  • Awesome track! Cool to see it in "The Office" to! :D

  • This song ROCKS!!!

  • this is trash compared to rascal flatts

  • 55-1:02 dude chasing her around the car, picking her up smiling. That is pure clean love. Now it's all 18yr olds in tight slutty outfits looking for cheap sex and faggy boys who were tighter clothing then girls do.

  • At least RF's version will draw attention to the original.

    May be high on WXPN(World Cafe flagship)'s 885 Road Songs list. Ballots getting tallied.

  • rascal flatts friken COPIED

  • @catinthehat1370 he didn't copy he just played a remake of it's like his covering the song dude

  • porqué no ponen el código para descargar el vídeo

  • xq no ponen el código para descargar el video

  • @hollerbacktyler ur awesome :D and @pgb88 i bet al least mostly every artist has copied at least one song from another person

  • the best version I've ever heard....probably because it's the orginal, lol. Personally, I think that the originl is best when it comes to just about anything. If you're gonna do a remake of a song, movie or tv show; make damn sure it's just as good, or better, then the original.

  • Where was this video filmed? It looks a lot like the plains or the Southwest, I can't really tell.

    Any assistance will be appreciated. Thank you.

  • @BootPatrol southern Alberta in the badlands

  • Rascal Flatts should go and write their own music..oh wait, they cant because they have zero talent.

  • I love this song! My daughter would wake me up to see & hear this song!

  • Wow memorys -94 NAIT Edmonton.

  • The rascal flatts version of this is so gay

  • this is the only version i like.........why? because any other is just a rehash of the best one....

    but i will admit one thing: someone covering another's tunes shows respect for the original artist..

  • great song :)

  • youtube comment arguments are so 2005 dudes

  • such a weird music video

  • I dont like this song because it makes life out to be a game when its not

  • @trollman4 listen here troll, its about how life is a journey, i.e. along a highway, how about u grow some ears and listen to the lyrics you muppet!?

  • @blairwaller3 then why does he say life is a highway and not a journey

  • i prefer the rascal flatts version i mean country is supposed to be lively. dis is dull in my opinion

  • i hate THE Rascall Flatts version of this song. Im not saying i hate them but the original of this song is WAY BETTER!

  • No where near as good as Rascal Flatts Verison...My opinion, but this one kind of sucks. I hate how he sounds and he cannot sing very well. At least compared to Gary Levox of Rascal Flatts

  • @hollerbacktyler you have no idea what you're saying.

  • @49isAmAzInG Obviously you have no idea what you're saying....there is a simple reason that all the views of all the videos showing this version with Tom Cochrane singing it, don't even get close to the total view number of Rascal Flatts. And don't even tell me about how it was used in Cars, because that was a damn kids movie. They did a better version of the song. And people like it more.

  • @hollerbacktyler hahaha. but if this song was never created, then the rascall flatts version would never exist. plus, rascal made it more pop sounding, and thats why it has more views.. its more commercially appealing.

  • @49isAmAzInG Right, because Rascal Flatts is way more commercial.

  • @hollerbacktyler exactly. they're sell-outs.

  • @49isAmAzInG I didn't know being the best selling Country artist and re taking a song and making it better than the original was being a sell-out! LOL Who knew! Man you are not smart are you...except that Rascal Flatts is better in EVERYWAY...End of the conversation. You cannot win it.

  • @hollerbacktyler Cmon man, there both good version, this one's the original

  • @Prime4571 They are.

  • @hollerbacktyler LOL @ you having no idea about what you're saying. why is it better? maybe cause they used the studio magic and autotune to make their voices perfect. this version is better, hands down, because its original, unlike the flatts version,

  • @49isAmAzInG For one, have you ever heard Rascal Flatts sing their other songs? Sing them live? Or this song live?! Gay Levox, is not by my standard, although I agree with it, but is one of the best technical country singers ever. That was stated by Randy Jackson (Who knows his music) and one other big producer I cannot think of. But the dude doesn't need auto-tune. Go listen to their songs and then come back and see how smart YOU are for talking about something you have no clue about at all.

  • @hollerbacktyler people also seem to like Justin Bieber more,does that make him good? No,it doesn't.I used to like the Rascal Fags version,but then I turned 12 and realized I was just being brainwashed.

  • @Random90sKid Justin Bieber is a good artist. Sings good and does what we wish we could do, but cant. Quit jumping on the hater bandwagon. He is a good artist. Sometimes yes, sings about things that are above his age, but still a good artist. And about Rascal Flatts and you not listening to them anymore...well cause you're insecure with yourself and listening to who you want with out other judging you.

  • @hollerbacktyler

    Bieber- fake gay mindless brainwasher

  • @TheJohnNelson LOL Fake Gay Mindless Brainwasher...? How is this? And why do you care so much?

  • i like both versions, but i prefer this

  • Ever other cover is just a cheap imitation. Tom Cochrane ROCKS

  • So much better than the honkeytonk twisted release..

  • I remember this song, it was huge when I was in grade 7!

  • THIS IS THE BEST- THE ORIG.

  • Since im big fan of 90's music, i've created site (w w w . soundof90s . t k), where you can find big selection of music videos from that decade.. If you have time, check it out.

  • I LOVE the chorus to this song!! it's awesome... a complete classic, this song will never get old!

  • even i like this dude...and i'm BLACK!!!!!

  • Great song!!!!

  • to all those people saying rascal flatts is better..Screw the rascal flarrs version if your a true country fan you'd like the CHRIS LEDOUX version better

  • the rascal flatts version needs the harmonica in it...

  • Dudes, Tom Cochrane's "LIFE IS A HIGHWAY" is such an AMAZING SONG because of the HARMONICA. That is why the other versions of this song or "Remixs" can't compare to the original. This song just AIN'T THE SAME without the HARMONICA......know what I mean?Anyways, MORE people have got to start NOTICING and ENJOYING the BEAUTY N' SOUNDS of the HARMONICA. Later Dudes.

  • i love the rascal flatts version better! IT HAS A MUCH BETTER TUNE AND @bittersweetist ITS THEIR OPINION LEAVIE TI ALONE!

  • @horseriderhannah That's because you're just a kid who grew up listening to crap music, probably.

  • This is a great song to work out to -- infectious beat...

  • Rock is soooooooo much better than country, and this/the original version is soooooooo much better

  • @TheMastakator do you like johnny cash

  • Classic. 

  • Rascal flatts can kiss my fucking ass.

  • F*** The Rascall Flatts version. This is Tom Cochrane b******!!!

  • This song is actually good past the first verse :P I still prefer Rascal Flatts, though...

  • Comment removed

  • This song saved my life in my darkest moment. Forever in debt to you Mr. Cochrane, much respect and thank you for helping me see the light when I felt I had nothing else.

  • @Desore I can dig it, good move on your part. Life is a real bitch when it comes to decisions, and you'll always be surprised where the influence comes from to go one way or the other.

  • @usernameshizer agreed. thankyou for your input and positivity friend!

  • @Desore i wish it could save me from mine

  • @Desore wow...im so lucky that my darkest moment was a haunted house at k-days...

  • @Desore

    fag.

  • @Grizzlism fuckwit.

  • @Desore

    cockmongler

  • Who is this 'Rascal Flats' you guys keep mentioning???

  • @frankfortbishops look em up singing this song and ull see they suck

    

  • o the cars song

  • Cool

  • amazing song.......I just want to drive my car after this......and I like the way Tom Cochrane sings it, cause you can feel he sings it with his heart, doesnt happen the same when I hear the Rascal Flatts one.

  • Rascal Flatts version sucks. This rocks!

  • @TheMuscleCarManiac The only reason that got so popular is because it was in some stupid kids movie. So it gained popularity with the kids.

  • @bobmar1y this was a monster hit for a decade before the movie "Cars" had nothing to do with the film, it's a great song

  • @nwfilmmaker Sorry I should have worded it better. I was quoting someone who was talking about the Rascal Flatts version, and I was just saying the only reason why that one gained so much popularity was because of a kids movie, that seem to be all the rage today.

    This song didn't need any kind of promotion like that because it was original and amazing. Songs today need the selling point of media not talent or creativity, unlike classic songs like this.

  • @TheMuscleCarManiac Racal Flatts version is the version you cruise down the highway at night with the windows down and that cold night air blowing in your face this version is the version you sit and cry to

  • @TheMuscleCarManiac Rascal's is too autotuned.

  • @96bikerider96 wrong they actually sound like that idiot

  • This is a great song for driving in the car, but I dont have a licens even though I am over 40, so I listen to this on the bus. It's cool I just wish I could take my face out the window to scream this song out.... or at least flash my johnson to strangers passing by! hell yeah! life is a highway! and so is public transportation...

    a highway to hell!

  • This is the best version in my opinion. It makes you want to sing along and dance and I like the instruments used. I remember when this was in the movie Cheaper By The Dozen.

  • oh.. i remember CARS =))

  • Best road song ever!!

  • The Flatts version is ok...prefer this tho. Guarantee you that Cochrane LOVES the Flatts version...holy residuals.

  • Yep, def better than any remakes. Who cares if he only had 1 or 2 huge hits. There is talent in this song and very catchy. Have loved it for years.

  • This is actually a fact, Tom Cochrane's Origanal is Better than Rascal Flatts cover version.

  • yes, that´s an original version, why we should talk about the other here...

  • i cant believe this has less than 100k views and the rascal flatts one has over 5 million,,,,

  • @xDroflmao1337 There's another one for this ver.. 1.5m views.. But still Rascal Flatt's better..

  • @afiqer93 how can you say tha this is "his" version this is his song haha its not a version damn

  • Tom is an asume song writer, one of my favorites that he wrote is "White Hot" back when he was with Red Rider this song is the best in my opinion that he wrote i bought all his albums and i wish he recived better recognition for his talent i re-orded all his albums in CD some took a while to come!

  • this is the first rock song I ever heard and when Rascal fats screwed it up I hated them for it!!!! I love this song, it's my #1 all-time favorite and I would like to thank the person who uploaded it:) THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @pedrumb NOOOOOT!! xD

  • @pedrumb I don't mind the Rascall Flatts NO harmonica version but the voice of TC is irreplaceable.

  • personally i like the raclas better ;/ but this is pretty nice

  • om's original is unbeatable. immortal rendition. One of the best highway drive numbers. The lead's terrific and the organ notes blend like a godly concoction. Not to forget the unquestionable spirit in the free-flowin, dual-pitched vocals.... oh my God... i've been listenin to this over n'over again all these years. And I just cá'nt get enuf of it.

  • their both awesome.

  • this is such a great song, i really dont like the rascal flats version, while the music is ok it lacks the outright passion that tom chochrane managed to put into his

  • life is a highway suck ma ballz!

  • he's singing too soft. i'm struggling to hear him.

  • All I can say is ditto to arivin's post!!!! the best tune to travel by..and the best ever tune!!!!!

  • I saw a flick called Cheaper by the Dozen and this song came up ha ha, so I had to check it out. Cool song!

  • Employee Transfer

  • Lots of nice metaphoric imagery.

  • I still don't get the big guy eating a popsicle with the dwarf girl.

  • may the Rascal Flat's be ashamed to try and match this.

  • big hit when i was in grade school damn im getting old
