Gene Pitney Trans Canada Highway
Met a woman in Vancouver
Nearly drove me outta my mind
She told me she was looking
For a man that could satisfy her
She was married to a law man
and life was passing her by
in a two room shack
and now she wanted to fly
You know a man of hunger is a man of fear
and being hungry for your love
is being hungry for my blood
a jealous man can make a big man run
and i am running like the devil through the morning sun
Trans-Canada Highway take me home
Trans-Canada Highway take me home
take me home
Moved out of town in a hurry
he's chasing me mile after mile
I'm driving 'coz i'm knowing
that i've got his lady with me
i see a sign for toronto
almost making me smile
the border's in sight
i think i'm gonna be free
you know a man of hunger is a man of fear
and being hungry for you love
is being hungry for my blood
a jealous man can make a big man run
and i am running like the devil for the morning sun
trans-canada highway take me home
trans-canada highway take me home
take me home
the morning paper had a photograph
of his burnt out wreck and it made me laugh
i told the lady but the lady ran
and now the papers say i'm a wanted man on the
(2x)
trans-canada highway take me home
Trans-canada highway take me home
take me home
