Medicine Hat

Driving at night
The Trans-Canada Highway
Was lit up for miles in the snow
I lit a smoke, and you rolled down the window
You said it gave you a headache

Well, that was a line that you often used
It always worked on me
I pulled to the side of the winding road
So we could get some sleep

I watched you snore as the snow started falling
Your phone started ringing
Your husband was calling
But I let you sleep 'cause you looked like you were dreaming
And that suited me, man, fine

And then we got on the road back to Medicine Hat
To the town where you grew up
I pulled in the driveway and cranked up the heater
And you turned the radio on

You said, "I think I'm getting old"
I said, "I think that you look better than ever
So let's keep driving, any direction
And I won't spare you no affection
In our beautiful new life

It won't be easy
Leaving everything behind
But let's leave everything behind."

And I said, "It won't be easy
Leaving everything behind
But let's leave everything behind
It won't be easy
Leaving everything behind
But let's leave everything behind."
