On a musical tour of the Western United States, Gordon Lightfoot discovered a highway sign that read, "Carefree Highway." The words on the sign led Gordon to write a song about a carefree lifestyle and a lost love.
Ligtfoot put the lyrics away in the glove compartment of his car. Eight months later, Gordon wrote the music for "Carefree Highway" after almost forgetting about the song. Wouldn't you know that the song became one of Lightfoot's biggest hits?
