Gordon Lightfoot ~ Carefree Highway You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

It sounds like "carefree" to me. I guess it's like some people think Jimi Hendrix is saying "kiss this guy" instead of "kiss the sky".
