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

Well, 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

I watched you snore as the snow started falling

Your phone started ringing

Your husband was calling

But I let you sleep 'cause you looked like you were dreaming

And that suited me, man, fine

And then 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 on

You said, "I think I'm getting old"

I said, "I think that you look better than ever

So let's keep driving, any direction

And I won't spare you no affection

In our beautiful new life

It won't be easy

Leaving everything behind

But let's leave everything behind."

And I said, "It won't be easy

Leaving everything behind

But let's leave everything behind

It won't be easy

Leaving everything behind

But let's leave everything behind."
