Tom CochraneThe song "Life Is a Highway" was originally written and performed by Tom Cochrane. It was on his 1991 album "Mad Mad World". The song was a #1 hit in Cochrane's native Canada and peaked at #6 on the U.S. Billboard charts in 1992.

But back in the 70's The J Giels band did record this song, But i can't find it on the internet. I have in album form somewhere

Answer 2

The original song is by Tom Cochrane but Rascal Flatts did a cover for the movie Cars a few years back which also gained great success.

I don't know who wrote that^^^^ but the original was NOT sung by Tom Cochrane. The song came out in the early 80s and was sung by John Mallencamp. Don't believe me? Look it up under his albums. I have never heard Tom Cochrane sing it but I know I heard John Mellencamp singing it when I was growing up round the same time Hurt So Good came out and I believe it's on the same album (although I could be wrong). However I DO know that Tom Cochrane is NOT the first to sing it. It's actually a toss up between John Mellencamp and Chris LeDoux
