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 here not knowin’ what to do. 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. Turnin’ back the pages to the times I love the 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 else to blame. (Chorus) Searchin’ through 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 tryin’ to get free From the good old faithful feelin’ we once knew. (Chorus)
