Gene Pitney - Trans Canada Highway..w/ LYRICS

Trans-Canada Highway - "Gene Pitney" - Year Song Released 1974

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 passin' 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

Trans-Canada highway take me home
Trans-Canada highway take me home
Take me home

FADE;
Trans-Canada highway take me home
Trans-Canada highway take me home

What's rather ironic is that this song wasn't a big hit in either Canada or the US...

[timsbitsca]

Yes I remember hearing this song in both Australia and New Zealand.

I immigrated to Canada in 1999 and now live in Calgary about 200 yards from the TRANS CANADA HIGHWAY.

I love this song and the way Gene sings it, makes it even better.

[MegaGravyboy]

Gene Pitney had a number one with this in Brisbane Australia in 1975. A beautifully composed single.

I uploaded this to my ipod before i went on a trip to canada, i was singing along as we cruised down the highway. i don't think the other bus passengers liked my singing though
