Bound For Glory
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.

Condenados a la gloria
En el arcén de la trans-canadiense
una joven
hacÃa autoestop con su perro.
Las luciérnagas revoleteaban sobre su cabeza
como lucecitas en la niebla.
Él estaba a tres millas
intentando mantenerse derecho
pero sabÃa que no podrÃa.
Ella esperaba que
alguien la llevase
pero era de noche y no pasaba nadie.
Estaban condenados a la gloria,
condenados a vivir al lÃmite.
Estaban condenados a ser el uno para el otro
como dos cometas encaminados hacia un lecho.
Ella tenÃa una nueva vida,
una nueva forma de ver la vida.
Él tenÃa un International del 84 y dos niños
y habÃa dejado atrás casa y esposa.
Él estaba cansado de
escribirse cartas
y llevar una vida sombrÃa.
Ella estaba abierta a propuestas
y hay quien dice que
habÃa tenido un desengaño amoroso.
Él habÃa tenido todo lo que habÃa querido
hasta que al final
se convirtió en un trabajo.
Un insomne camionero en horas bajas
y una joven autoestopista
con su perro.
Estaban condenados a la gloria,
condenados a vivir al lÃmite.
Estaban condenados a ser el uno para el otro
como dos cometas encaminados hacia un lecho.
Ella tenÃa una nueva vida,
una nueva forma de ver la vida.
Él tenÃa un International del 84 y dos niños
y habÃa dejado atrás casa y esposa.
En la autopista trans-canadiense
el sol empezaba a subir por la cabina
y para cuando alcanzó la ventanilla
ellos ya se habÃan despertado
a pesar de lo poco que habÃan dormido.
Cuando el rayo de sol llegó a las mantas,
ellos que habÃan buscado
instintivamente el amor
mirándose mutuamente a los ojos
lo encontraron a las claras del dÃa.
Estaban condenados a la gloria,
condenados a vivir al lÃmite.
Estaban condenados a ser el uno para el otro
como dos mantas echadas sobre un lecho.
Ella tenÃa una nueva vida,
una nueva forma de ver la vida.
Él tenÃa un International del 84 y dos niños
y habÃa dejado atrás casa y esposa.
