CARE FREE DAYS
Got up early one Friday morn’
Headed for the sun
Leavin’ the gray skies all behind
Headed down south bound 41
With a couple of friends
Lookin’ to see what we could find
All our troubles seemed so far away
Gonna have a care fee day
Burnin’ fire on the right
Marks the end of day
We have long been on our way
Got around New Orleans town
Copped a bottle of wine
Looked up Old Georgia in the park
Passed the wine along with time
Way ‘till after dark
Singin’, laughin’, talkin’ from the heart
All our troubles seemed so far away
Gonna have a care free day
Life on Bourbon Street
It’s such a treat
It really doesn’t matter what time of day
Headed on east down along the Gulf
Gonna see the Florida Keys
Picked a few oranges for along the way
Spent the night in a Holiday Inn – parking lot of course
When it’s free who needs to pay
All our troubles seemed so far away
Gonna have a care free day
Pitched a big white tent
In the sand with ease
Living high on the summer breeze
Back up north along the coast
New York City here we come
Got to kiss Miss Liberty
For standing guard over this land of ours
For you and me
So we may travel it o’ so free
All our troubles seemed so far away
Yes, I had my Care Free Days
