Theme From Trans-Canada Highwaymen
Craig and I were on the road
Hoping my album would explode, but it didn't, yet again
Got a call from Jim Milan, with this idea for a band
Like some Canrock Highwayman
He said he'd try to book a show for me and Chris and Craig and Mo
We can see what happens then
Just when things were looking bleak, look out, flavour of the week
I'm out playing with my friends
On the, Trans-Canada (hey), Trans-Canada Highway, baby
I'm a, Trans-Canada (hey), Trans-Canada highwayman
Moe is back from "The Pursuit"
Murphy bought a bag of fruit
Northie's trying out the drums
Singing songs from back one page
Wore shiny shirts and shorts on stage
Moe is shredding Stephen's strums
In the Sloan rehearsal space, tears were running down my face
Swapping dad jokes with my chums
Though we're longer in the tooth, we'll be blowing off the roof
Hey, New Brunswick, here we come
On the, Trans-Canada (hey), Trans-Canada Highway, baby
I'm a, Trans-Canada (hey), Trans-Canada highwayman
Those dignified elder statesmen
Are far too famous to haul their own equipment
I bet they only do it
Cause they're such humble down to earth Canadians
So Chris secured a rental van, provoked by water in a can
Northie stopped and got a snack
And though the girl and she so young, must be pushing 51
We can't wait to play that track
And one by one our peers are gone
We miss you Gord, we miss you John
We wish you'd help us with the pack
And if Gord was still alive, he'd say
"Guys, just let me drive. You get some rest there in the back."
On the, Trans-Canada (hey), Trans-Canada Highway, baby
I'm a, Trans-Canada (hey), Trans-Canada highwayman
On the, Trans-Canada, Trans-Canada Highway, baby (yeah)
I'm a, Trans-Canada, Trans-Canada highwayman (yeah)
On the (hey), Trans-Canada (hey), Trans-Canada Highway, baby (yeah)
I'm a (hey), Trans-Canada (hey), Trans-Canada highwayman (yeah)
Hoping my album would explode, but it didn't, yet again
