[Verse 1]
Met a woman in Vancouver
Nearly drove me out of my mind
She told me she was looking
For a man that could satisfy
[Verse 2]
She was married to a law man
And life was passing her by
In a two room shack
And now she wanted to fly
[Bridge]
You know a man of hunger
Is a man to 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
[Chorus]
Trans Canada highway
Take me home
Trans Canada highway
Take me home
Take me home
[Verse 3]
Moved out of town in a hurry
He's chasing me mile after mile
I'm driving cause I'm knowing
That I've got his lady with me
[Verse 4]
I see a sign for Toronto
Almost making me smile
The border's in sight
I think I'm going to be free
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
Trans Canada highway
Take me home
Trans Canada highway
Take me home
Take me home
[Verse 5]
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
[Chorus]
On the Trans Canada highway
Take me home
Trans Canada highway
Take me home
Take me home
