Lyrics

Highway 1 East

Oh, wait for me, I fell behind three signs for services ago

And some sarcastic satellite says I'm not anywhere

Spent every cent of your goodwill on fossil fuels and magazines

So let this field of flax forclose on everything I own

And scratch Saskatchewan away

Make Manitoba paper dolls

Lift up a line from Highway 1

To tie Ontario

Oh, wait for me
