[Verse 1]
Picking 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 knowing what to do

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Turning back the pages to the times I love best
I wonder if she'll еver do the same
Now thе thing that I call living is just being satisfied
With knowing I got no one left to blame

[Chorus]
Carefree highway, 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
Slip away on you
[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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
