There's a fire burning on the trans-Canada highway tonight
Everyone asking if that's where I am
One hour north but I think I am going to head on through
The sight of smoke and a giant fire
It sounds like the words to get back to you
Everyone's hoping for the thunder and rain,
I am just hoping this will ease my pain
I am on a long drive
To see if our love is still alive
I am on a long, long drive
Oh tonight
I pass the fireman that have all volunteered
Left their families and left their friends
My heart beats as it kind of sinks in
That everything I am and everything I want
Is standing on the side of that road
Someone to love and someone to hold
I am on a long drive
To see if our love is still alive
I am on a long, long drive
Oh tonight
You are with me everywhere I turn
Even though the smoke makes my eyes burn
Through the ashes and through the mist
My steering wheels straight
My heart won't break
A car burning on the side of the road
Turning west on a Sudbury street
This is time to decide
The last corner, the last ride
Until our hearts, until our hearts will meet
Woah, a long drive, a long drive
Woah, I'm on a long drive
