I love this song a lot too. But I thought I'd just point out that Gord often "messes up" the lyrics in this song. I've got a number of live recordings where he always is messing around with the following lines:
Of an old engine flyin' down a road that's ironcast
Of an old schooner rovin' 'neath a sky that's ironclad
Of a cold diesel rollin' down a road that's built to last
Of an old schooner flyin' down a sky that's overcast
I often play this song on my guitar, and I also have trouble ordering these lines properly. I guess they are so similar but different that it gets difficult to keep them straight. I don't have time to go back and look at the live 8 recording right now, but I wouldn't be suprised if he mixed up the order in that performance as well.
