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
