there's no shortcut, no straight line.
the highwayman defines my sleeping country.
ghost horse in my head, keeping time; wandering minds.
trans canada....
hot dice keep it rolling, trying to lose all our nothing.
now familiar, now forgotten. forget goodbyes,
forget the song; here and gone.
trans canada.
i had that vision, brother; the one about you, brother.
we did ride, ride on the shining path together.
that hell-black angel, i was on her side.
burned out of deep river, looking into the night;
no vacancies for so long. trans canada, hell and gone.
