Intro
Verse 1
Pickin' up the pieces of my sweet shattered dream
I wonder how the old folks are tonight
Her name was Ann & I'll be damned if I recall her face
She left me not knowin' what to do
Chorus
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
Verse 2
Turnin' back the pages to the times I love best
I wonder if she'll ever do the same
Now the thing that I call living is just being satisfied
With knowin' I got no one left to blame
Chorus
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
Verse 3
Searchin' thru the fragments of my dream shattered sleep
I wonder if the years have closed her mind
Well I guess it must be wanderlust, or trying to get free
From the good old faithful feelin' we once knew
Chorus
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
Let me slip away on you
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
