Carry Me Over Lyrics - Singles - Arlo Guthrie

There's a tavern up on the roadside, I must be coming into town 

The moon must be in Aries, because the truck ain't slowing down 

Pulled back on the throttle, I've been doing that all day 

Looking ahead for a right-hand turn to carry me away 

There's times for understanding, it don't seem like one of those 

The times are too demanding when you're hanging by your nose 

So why don't you just get out of here and leave me here to pray? 

That one of these mornings the sun's going to rise and carry me away 

Carry me over the highway 

Carry me over the sky 

Carry me over the loneliness 

That I'm feeling here tonight 

You know I'm feeling just like a riptide and I'm feeling a little scared 

A twisted maze of old highways, nobody has repaired 

It ain't nothing that can't be handled like an actor in a play 

Who becomes enraged, jumps from the stage and gets a little carried away 

Now all of your highways, don't mean much to me no more 

I've been on all of your highway roads of that you can be sure 

But I still get lost on all of them roads, I can't seems to find my way 

I know there's one out there somewhere to carry me away 

Carry me over the highway 

Carry me over the sky 

Carry me over the loneliness 

That I'm feeling here tonight
