Pitney, Gene - Trans-Canada Highway Lyrics
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
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
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
Trans-Canada highway, take me home...

Pitney, Gene Trans-Canada Highway Comments
Underrated
I have many CDs with all of Gene's memorable hits but for some unknown reason this song isn't on any of them so it's great hearing this & seeing him at the same time. Gee he looks great here in his white suit. I'm sure he'd still be making hits today.
Hello Pike. I see you found this clip. Early January 2020 a Gene Pitney Gold Album was released and immediately reached No 30 in the UK Official Top 100 Albums Chart so yes, Gene Pitney is still reaching the charts today!
He had an unmistakable beautiful voice! Sang some classic songs! Loved his catchy songs! Bernie from Perth Western Australia.
A unique voice like the Big-O. I like voices that are unusual. Good. Different
A CASE OF GENDER RECLASSIFICATION - WELL BEFORE THE CHELSEA MANNING CASE.....
So, he drives from Vancouver to Toronto to get away from this dude.
Bloke could’ve driven 60 km to the Peace Arch.
This song is probably what made me emigrate to Canada.17 years later on a trip to England I went to one of his concerts and he dedicated it to me
@Ursula petersI lived in Vancouver for a year on a working holiday before moving back to Australia. I miss it and will probably look to permanent immigration down the track.
I remember seeing him perform and the strength and range of his voice was amazing
Gorgeous Man Gorgeous Voice ,Love Him ,gone too soon .Paula xxx
Love....
Bravo Gene!
Such a superb and versatile voice. An underrated tune and I can't help but play it to death.
Great to know I'm not the only one playing Gene's songs to death!
😘☀️
Beautiful music one of my all time favorites
Have always loved his voice and the casual nature of his singing style. Never tire of him, his music or the many memories that stir within me.
A great tune by a man with such a unique and beautiful voice, Such great music.
That naughty stagehand once again dropped some superglue on the set
Who would ever know in 1975 I would move from New Zealand to Canada in 1999 and live in Calgary and travel on the Trans Canada Highway almost every day, and live very close to it. Thank You Gene Pitney, you will always be Number 1.
I am a HUGE Pitney fan and I don't remember this song. I doubt it was played in the States much. What a shame bc it's a great song and Gene nails it as only Gene can.
Still plays on the radio here in Australia in 2019; I love love love it.
Awesome performer , always sadly missed
He certainly was easy on the eyes ❤️❤️
Rest in peace.
Love this!
loved him then, love him still, love him now and always will
The border's in sight, I think I'm gonna be free....
10 years. ln loving memory. Not just a big voice but a big kind heart. Such a sad loss
Love this man and his music. He is so sexy.
Loved you then and still do. You will live forever.
Glad to see this version back, it was taken down from yt for the longest time. Love Gene Pitney.
Consummate professional and nice guy. Never heard a bad word said about this wonderful man.
Trans Canada Highway was hit in Australia, got to No.11 in Melbourne 1975
+blueycarlton They still play this on my local radio station in NSW from time to time :) One of my favourite songs.
+blueycarlton When I was ten years old and in Melbourne too! Probably playing on 3XY
excellent song thanks for posting
Wasn't exactly animated was he???
Do you like it up the ass???
Who do you think are some other great singers???
I dig Pitney but he doesn't hold a candle to The Big O
Shang Chunsong in
I believe Sedaka is of Turkish descent.
Smoldering @ .20 Love this song :) Love Pitney
