Carefree Highway Lyrics

von Gordon Lightfoot

Carefree Highway

Pickin' up the pieces of my sweet shattered dream
I wonder how the old folks are tonight
Her name was Ann and I'll be damned if I recall her face
She left me not knowing what to do

Carefree Highway, let me slip away on you
Carefree Highway, you've seen better days
The morning-after blues from my head down to my shoes
Carefree Highway, let me slip away, slip away on you

Turnin' back the pages to the times that I love best
I wonder if she'll ever do the same
Now the things that I call livin's just being satisfied
With knowing I got no one left to blame

Carefree Highway, I got to see you, my old flame
Carefree Highway, you've seen better days
The morning-after blues, from my head down to my shoes
Carefree Highway, let me slip away, slip away on you

Searching through the fragments of my dream-shattered sleep
I wonder if the tears have closed her mind
Well, I guess it must be wanderlust or tryin' to get free
From the good old faithful feeling we once knew

Carefree Highway, let me slip away on you
Carefree Highway, I got to see you my old flame
Carefree Highway, let me slip away, ---- slip away on you
