NEIL YOUNG - Bound For Glory lyrics

rate me

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.

They were bound for glory

Bound for living on the edge

They were bound for each other

Like two comets heading for a bed.

She had a new way of living

New way of looking at life

He had an

'84 International and two kids

He left back home with his wife.

He was tired of

writin' letters to himself

And living in the dark

She was open to suggestions

And some say

she had a broken heart.

He had everything he wanted

'Til it all

turned out to be a job

One fallen asleep trucker

And a girl

hitchhiking with her dog.

They were bound for glory

Bound for living on the edge

They were bound for each other

Like two comets heading for a bed.

She had a new way of living

New way of looking at life

He had an

'84 International and two kids

He left back home with his wife.

Out on the trans-Canada highway

The sun came climbing up the cab

By the time it hit the window

they were wakin' up

From what little sleep they had.

When that heat hit the blankets

They were looking

for love at second sight

Just starin' in each others' eyes

Findin' it in the mornin' light.

They were bound for glory

Bound for living on the edge

They were bound for each other

Like two blankets layin' on a bed.

She had a new way of living

New way of looking at life

He had an

'84 International and two kids

He left back home with his wife.
