Woke up Sunday morning
Found my love was long gone
Packed her bags without any note
Climbed into my old van
I just started drivin'
Said aloud "That's all she wrote"
Halifax to Moncton
Started feeling something
Had to keep on running away
Westward from the ocean
Hiding my emotion
Movin' on keeps me sane
So I'm drivin' from
Canada to heartbreak
Movin' to LA
To feel the earth shake
I don't know if it's a mistake
But I'm drivin' from
Canada to heartbreak
Well I stopped off in Toronto
I heard it was a big show
Thought I'd find a new lady there
But that was just a no‐go
All the girls said "Hell no!"
Go on, get right outta here
So I headed to the northland
Manitoulin Island
Right up on past Sault Ste. Marie
Don't know where I'm going
But I keep the motor runnin'
Don't know where I wanna be
So I'm drivin from
Canada to heartbreak
Movin' to LA to feel the earth shake
I don't know if it's a mistake
But I'm drivin' from
Canada to heartbreak
♪
Well I made it to Arizona
Suddenly got a phone call
My old flame wanted me back
She said she was sorry
Without me felt so lonely
So now I'm retracing my tracks
And I'm driving back to
Canada for heartbreak
Won't make it to LA to feel the earth shake
I don't know if it's a mistake
But I'm driving back to
Canada for heartbreak
