That's funny. There are a lot of songs I mishear the lyrics on and even when I find out the real lyrics, the original misheard lyrics are the ones that still stick in my mind.

For example, the Bob Dylan song "Tangled Up In Blue" - for years I thought it was "Tired Of Loving Blues." There are many other examples.

There's actually a word for this - mondegreen.

Up until now, I still thought it was "every highway".

Is that the place where "the bathroom's on the right"?

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
