Carefree was the inspiration for Gordon Lightfoot’s “Carefree Highway”, when he was roilling through town and liked the name. One of G-Light’s finest.

Carefree Hwy ( Hwy 74) runs between Rt 60/93 to the town of Carefree. Been on it many a time.

You are correct, it is the inspiration of the song

Indeed. Tony Dekker does an outstanding cover. I may actually like it more than the original.
