Out on the highway's eBmdge
a sColitary figureG
With a solemn plDedge
One leg of bGone, one leg of steel
a skip aBmnd a heavy heel
Brought up in CBC and Manitoba
He didn't fGail to make us fDeelChorusYeah, the roCad was lGong where Dhe once rGan

VerseHe dGidn't run for medals
He dBmidn't run for gold
But for the peCople and their stories
That nGever will be tDold
Across the aGsphalt and the gravel
ThrBmough the heat and rain
He carried the nation's
weCight for twenty-six miles

VerseWell, the roGad was lined with people
Who came Bmout to see him run
But the lungs grew tEmired and he got weary
BefCore he was done
On a lGonely stretchBm
Near Thunder BayC
His stride was halted
The bDody gave wayChorusYeah, the roCad was lGong where Dhe once rGan
CHe did the bGest any hDuman Emcan
Get acrCoss the cGountry,D that's the pEmlan
CThat's the spirit oDf our mGan
BridgeThe finish lGine was in his mind
Not a cBmity on a map
There was no cEmlosing ceremony
JCust a roadside clap
He might have hGad to stop the run
But the fBmight still carries on
For every heEmart that followed him
The rCace was bravely wDonChorusYeah, the roCad was lGong where Dhe once rGan
CHe did the bGest any hDuman Emcan
Get acrCoss the cGountry,D that's the pEmlan
