Carefree Highway

Carefree Highway - Gordon Lightfoot

Picking up the pieces of

My sweet shattered dream

I wonder how the old folks are tonight

Her name was an 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 seen better days

The morning after blues from my

Head down to my shoes

Carefree highway

Let me slip away

Slip away on you

Turning back the pages to

The times I love best

I wonder if shell ever do the same

Now the thing that I call

Living is just being satisfied

With knowing I got no one left to blame

Carefree highway

Got ta see you my old flame

Carefree highway

You 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 years have closed her mind

I guess it must be wanderlust

Or trying to get free

From the good old faithful

Feeling we once knew

Carefree highway

Let me slip away on you

Carefree highway

You 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

Got ta see you my old flame

Carefree highway

You seen better days

The morning after blues from

My head down to my shoes

Carefree highway

Let me slip away

Slip away on you
