Carry Me Over

Carry Me Over 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 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 seem to find my way I know there’s one out there somewhere  To carry me away (CHORUS)
