Lyrics
Craig and I were on the road
Hoping my album would explode
But it didn't, yet again
Got a call from Jim Millan
With this idea for a band
Like some can-rock highwaymen
He said he'd try to book a show
For me and Chris and Craig and Moe
We can see what happens then
Just when things were looking bleak
Look out, Flavour of the Week
I'm out playing with my friends
On the TransCanada, TransCanada Highway, baby
I'm a TransCanada, TransCanada highwayman
Moe was back from the Pursuit
Murphy brought a bag of fruit
Northy's trying out the drums
Singing songs from back when Page
Wore shiny shirts and shorts on stage
Moe was shredding, Steven strums
In the Sloan rehearsal space
Tears were running down my face
Swapping dad jokes with my chums
Though longer in the tooth
We'll be blowing off the roof
Hey, New Brunswick, here we come
On the TransCanada, TransCanada Highway, baby
I'm a TransCanada, TransCanada highwayman
Those dignified elder statesmen
Are far too famous to haul their own equipment
I bet they only do it 'cause they're
Such humble, down-to-earth Canadians
So Chris secured a rental van
Provoked by water in a can
Northy stopped and got a snack
And though the girl in She's So Young
Must be pushing 51
We can't wait to play that track
And one by one our peers are gone
We miss you Gord, we miss you John
We wish you'd help us with the pack
And if Gord was still alive
He'd say, "Guys, just let me drive
You get some rest there in the back"
On the TransCanada, TransCanada Highway, baby
I'm a TransCanada, TransCanada highwayman
I'm a TransCanada, TransCanada Highway, baby
On the TransCanada, TransCanada highwayman
On the TransCanada, TransCanada Highway, baby
I'm a TransCanada, TransCanada highwayman
