Trans Canada Highway Songtext
von Gene Pitney

Met a woman in Vancouver
Nearly drove me outta my mind
She told me she was looking
For a man that could satisfy

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
