Out on the trans-canada highway   There was a girl hitchhiking with her dog   Fireflies buzzin' round her head   Like candles in the fog.      He was three miles down the road   Tryin' to stay up, but he knew that he couldn't   She was looking for a ride through the night   But out there, who wouldn't.      They were bound for glory   Bound for living on the edge   They were bound for each other   Like two comets heading for a bed.      She had a new way of living   New way of looking at life   He had an '84 international and two kids   He left back home with his wife.      He was tired of writin' letters to himself   And living in the dark   She was open to suggestions   And some say she had a broken heart.      He had everything he wanted   'til it all turned out to be a job   One fallen asleep trucker   And a girl hitchhiking with her dog.      They were bound for glory   Bound for living on the edge   They were bound for each other   Like two comets heading for a bed.      She had a new way of living   New way of looking at life   He had an '84 international and two kids   He left back home with his wife.      Out on the trans-canada highway   The sun came climbing up the cab   By the time it hit the window they were wakin' up   From what little sleep they had.      When that heat hit the blankets   They were looking for love at second sight   Just starin' in each others' eyes   Findin' it in the mornin' light.      They were bound for glory   Bound for living on the edge   They were bound for each other   Like two blankets layin' on a bed.      She had a new way of living   New way of looking at life   He had an '84 international and two kids   He left back home with his wife.
