Carry Me Over lyrics

words and music by 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

CHORUS:
Carry me over the highway
Carry me over the sky
Carry me over the lonliness
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

CHORUS
