TITLE: Carefree Highway
Lyrics and Chords
[Capo 2]
Pickin' up the pieces of my sweet shattered dream
I wonder how the old folks are tonight
Her name was Ann and I'll be damned if I recall her face
She left me not knowin' what to do
/ D A F# Bm / G D Asus4 A / 1st / G A /
{Refrain}
Carefree highway, let me slip away on you
Carefree highway, you seen better days
The mornin' after blues from my head down to my shoes
Carefree highway, let me slip away
Slip away on you
/ D C G A / / Bm A GD Esus4 E /
/ D C G Asus4 A / D C G A D C G - /
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 livin' is just bein' satisfied
With knowin' I got no one left to blame
{Refrain}
Carefree highway, I got to see you my old flame...
Searchin' through the fragments of my dream-shattered sleep
I wonder if the years have closed her mind
I guess it must be wanderlust or tryin' to get free
From the good old faithful feelin' we once knew
{Refrain}
Carefree highway, let me slip away on you...
Let me slip away on you
{Refrain}
Carefree highway, got to see you my old flame...
