Gene Pitney Trans-canada Highway Lyrics

Trans-canada Highway Lyrics

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
