 intro....
 
 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 knowing  what to do.
 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 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
