Carefree Highway

Lightfoot Gordon

Picking up the pieces of my sweet shattered dream


I wonder how the old folks are to night


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 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 she'll 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 to 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 to 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
