Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file

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

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 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

Carefree highway, got ta see you my old flame
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

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

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

Let me slip away on you
Carefree highway, got ta see you my old flame
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
