Pickin up the pieces of my sweet shattered dream

    Carefree Highway let me slip away  slip away on you

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

Cho...

    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 let me slip away on you

Searchin thru the fragments of my dream shattered sleep

I wonder if the years have closed her mind

Well I guess it must be wander lust or trying to get free

>From the good old faithful feeling we once knew

Cho...

    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 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 let me slip away on you
