Tom Cochrane is the original (and the best, IMO). Came out in the 90s and was pretty popular. Rascal Flatts is the one who covered it, as did Blake Shelton and Chris LeDoux. Interesting as I never really considered it a country song!
"Life Is a Highway" is a song written by Tom Cochrane, from his 1991 album Mad Mad World. The song was Cochrane's most famous song, as it was a number one hit in his native Canada, and was ubiquitous on Canadian radio in 1991. The song also peaked at number six on the Billboard charts in the United States in 1992.
In the 1990s Cochrane took his family to West Africa where he helped to raise awareness and money for the World Vision famine relief organization. That experience shaped his next album Mad Mad World which contained "Life Is a Highway".
The song was Cochrane's only Top 40 hit in the United States, although he continued to have significant hits in Canada. Prominent Cincinnati disc jockey Brian Douglas was the first American DJ to play this song on air.
none other has
Rascal Flatts has the rights to it thanks to that Disney company (not sure which one)
Chris LeDoux.
