Michael Ironside (born Frederick Reginald Ironside, February 12, 1950) is a Canadian actor. He has also worked as a voice actor, producer, film director, and screenwriter in movie and television series in various Canadian and American productions. He is best known for playing villains and "tough guy" heroes, though he has also portrayed sympathetic characters. Ironside is a method actor, who stays in character between takes.
Ironside was born in Toronto, Ontario, the son of Robert Walter Ironside and Patricia June Passmore. His father was a street lighting technician, and his mother a homemaker.
Ironside attended the Ontario College of Art in Toronto and wrote a play at the age of 15, The Shelter, which won the first prize in a university contest. He also won the Senior writing award for Riverdale Collegiate Institute in 1967.
In a January 2010 interview, Ironside stated in response to a question about his many roles in science fiction movies that he has always been a big fan of science fiction and often received science fiction short story collections from his grandfather that he kept in a shoebox under his bed. He stated that his favourite science fiction novels are Dune by Frank Herbert and "anything involving adventure."

I'm tired of being stuck here with no way out.
I think it's time for me to hit the road
Got a car with a full tank of gas yehh.
It's just my love I guess runnin low
[Hook:]
Just got out on the windy city
Going through the desert
Gettin away from your love, baby
No more excuses I'm already on my way out
I know that you never change baby
[Chorus:]
Got to get outta here, far away from you
Now I'm going, cross country
I'm not lookin back oh no
All the miles in my car are keep movin on (cross country)
I'm gettin away, I'm gettin away, I'm gettin away (cross country)
Leavin it all behind, can't carry you and I (cross country)
[Verse 2:]
I'm not expectin no traffic to make me slow down
Cause with you I was always the last to come
I'm livin my life the way I planned it
Without your baggage on the road
[Hook:]
Just got out on the windy city
Going through the desert
Gettin away from your love, baby
No more excuses I'm already on my way out
I know that you never change baby
[Chorus:]
Got to get outta here, far away from you
Now I'm going, cross country
I'm not lookin back oh no
All the miles in my car are keep movin on (cross country)
I'm gettin away, I'm gettin away, I'm gettin away (cross country)
Leavin it all behind, can't carry you and I (cross country)
[Bridge:]
Baby our love has ran it's course
And I'd rather lose you than myself
[Chorus: x2]
Got to get outta here, far away from you
Now I'm going, cross country
I'm not lookin back oh no
All the miles in my car are keep movin on (cross country)
I'm gettin away, I'm gettin away, I'm gettin away (cross country)
Leavin it all behind, can't carry you and I (cross country)
[Ending:]
Gotta get away.
