[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
They were bound for glory
Bound for livin' on the edge
They were bound for each other
Like two comets headin' for a bed
She had a new way of livin'
New way of lookin' at life
He had an '84 International
And two kids he left back home with his wife

[Fiddle Solo]

[Verse 2]
He was tired of writin' letters to himself
And livin' in the dark
She was open to suggestion
And some say she had a broken heart
He had everything he wanted
Till all it turned out to be a job
One fallin' asleep trucker
And a girl hitchhiking with a dog
