You and about 20 million other people I'll bet. It was only until about ten years ago that I discovered it was actually "carefree Highway" and not "every highway."
Listening to the song, either Gord simply doesn't enunciate well enough to discern the difference or the swelling music obscures the real word. I guess the title of the song might have been a giveaway. lol
Every kinda works in a sense even more so than Carefree lol
Great thing about the song is the upbeat feel to it but the lyrics are the opposite. Good stuff
