a/n My first song fic! The Stray cat tribe kittens are trying to figure out what life is like, and Axel has an idea.
Disclaimer: I own the Stray cat tribe. That's it.
"Um...life is like a...like a...cherry?" Gracie guessed. It was a cold winter day and Gracie, Sarrel, Theta, and Axel are trapped inside the medicine den with a cold.
"Yuck! I hate cherries!" Sarrel meowed and scrunched up his face.
"You hate everything." Gracie responded.
"I know! Life is like a...a...jumping jack!" Theta suggested and sneezed loudly.
"Bless you. And does that even make sense?" Axel questioned his best friend and took a sip of orange juice and sniffled. Gracie shrugged and coughed and Sarrel just sneezed. "I have an idea of what it is! ACHOO!" Axel sneezed loudly and blew his little nose.
"Bless you. What is it?" Sarrel asked and coughed.
Axel smiled and began to sing.
Axel: Life's like a road that you travel on
When there's one day here an' the next day gone
Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the wind
Theta saw where his friend was getting at continued the answer.
Theta: There's a world outside every darkened door
Where blues won't haunt you anymore
Where brave are free an' lovers soar
Come ride with me to the distant shore
Both: We won't hesitate
Ta' break down the garden gate
There's not much time left today, yeahea...
Both: Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
Well, I wanna drive it all night long
The other two saw where this is going and decided to join.
Gracie: Through all these cities an' all these towns
It's in my blood an' it's all around
I love you now like I loved you then
This is the road an' these are the hands
From Mozambique to those Memphis nights
The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights
Sarrel: Knock me down, an' back up again
You're in my blood
I'm not a lonely man
Sarrel: There's no load I can't hold
Road so rough, this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Just tell 'em we're survivors
All: Life is a highway
Well, I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long
All: Life is a highway
Well, I wanna ride it all night long
(Hmmmmm, yeah!)
If you're going my way (you're goin' my way)
I wanna drive it all night long (all night long)
Axel: There was a distance between you an' I (between you and I)
A misunderstanding once
But now we look it in the eye
Ooooohh, yeah!
(Mmmm, yeah
Ah, hm, hm, hm, hm)
Sarrel: There ain't no load that I can't hold
A road so rough, this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Tell 'em we're survivors
All: Life is a highway
Well, I wanna ride it all night long (all night long, yeah)
If you're goin' my way
Well, I wanna drive it all night long
Gracie: Life is a highway (life is a highway)
I wanna ride it all night long
(Ooooo, yeah)
You're going my way (you're goin' my way)
I wanna drive it all night long (all night long, yeah)
Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long (yeah, I wanna drive it all night long, baby)
If you're goin' my way (you're goin' my way)
I wanna drive it all night long (all night long)
The kittens smiled and were silent until Theta broke the silence with a very loud and sneeze and almost choked on it. "What is with you and sneezing loudly!" Sarrel meowed and coughed.
MOW: God, I love that song!
Theta: I for one hate colds!
MOW: Everyone does Theta.
Live Long, Prosper, and SPOON! - MOW
