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
