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
