Driving at night
The Trans-Canada Highway
Was lit up for miles in the snow
I lit a smoke and you rolled down the window
You said it gave you a headache
But that was a line
That you often used
It always worked on me
I pulled to the side
Of the winding road
So we could get some sleep
And I watched you snore
As the snow started falling
Your phone started ringing
Your husband was calling
But I let you sleep
Cuz you looked like you were dreaming
And that suited me man, fine
And we got on the road back to Medicine Hat
To the town where you grew up
I pulled in the driveway
And cranked up the heater
And you turned the radio up
You said "I think I'm getting old"
I said "I think that you look be-tter than ever"
So lets keep drivin' any direction
I won't spare you no affection
In our beautiful new life
(And I said) It won't be easy leaving
Everything behind
But lets leave everything behind
