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
