this is a very good song...first of all, for non-canadians maybe i can clear up some of the cancon in this song...number one road is the trans-canada highway....it is very popular for people from where i am from in ontario to hitchhike out west, and surprisingly easy...as for the song...the first verse is about building a relationship (growing a plant/wind under our sails)...and then i think it is about being away from home on tour across canada...he is talking about how lonely he is missing someone....then he says that his heart will hitchike when he can't remember this person he misses...third verse i think the wire could represent a telephone call or the telephone wires that line the highway...through the thick and the thin sounds like a vow to stick together no matter how hard it gets being away...that is my take....
