Vision

Takin' the night ride from Toronto
Just me and the Trans Canada highway
Told my friends, I'm goin' north for the weekend
They say oh, you goin' up to Barrie, Orillia
I say, no I'm goin' all the way
Goin' up to Sault Ste. Marie
Goin' home

They say, Sault Ste. Marie, isn't that
Where they uh

Yeah whatever, I'm goin' home
Gonna call my Rosie

You drivin' 500 miles just to call some girl
Who is this Rosie?

Aw nothin' you'd understand
I just know you don't get too many second chances
And I'm not missin' mine
Just me and the Trans Canada highway
Late night radio

Heard a song by Elvis Presley
Heard them mention Gorbachev
Doin' the night ride from Toronto
Runnin' on an unlimited supply of love

Forty years in the desert
Too many years behind the wall
500 Miles down the highway
Just to make a phone call

I have a vision
Vision of a hard road
We all gotta go a long way
But I see a rainbow
And barrels of gold
And babe I can see them today

Cruisin' past the Manitoulin turnoff
Look at that rock cut with the spray painted tattoo
Rosie and Jimmy
Ooh if that rock could talk
What a story it would tell

When all those love songs seem so real
You know you're in for one rough ride
But sometimes you do just what you feel
Do what you know you know is right

I have a vision
Vision of a hard road
We all gotta go a long way
But I see a rainbow
And barrels of gold
And babe I can see them today

I tell myself you better get some help
Turn this car round and go back
But then I realize I'm in way too deep for that
