Carole King (born 9 February 1942) is a jewish-american singer-songwriter. She was most active as a singer during the first half of the 1970s, but she was a successful songwriter for considerably longer both before and after this period. Born in 1942 in Brooklyn, New York, Carole Klein (as she was then known) started out playing the piano and then moved on to singing, forming a vocal quartet called the Co-Sines in high school. While attending Queens College, King befriended Paul Simon, Neil Sedaka and Gerry Goffin. Goffin and King soon formed a songwriting partnership, eventually marrying, working in the famous Brill Building, where chart-topping hits were churned out during the 1960s.

Carry Your Load Lyrics

Carole King

Meet me on the highway
Meet me on the road
AS long as you've got to travel
Don't you ant someone to help you carry your load?
First time out is a heady feeling
White clouds under my feet
Sailin' along like a south wind
Over fields of whispering wheat
Thinkin' alone on a Thursday morning
Of peace and love and war
I still don't have any answer
But I don't get high anymore
Meet me on the highway
Meet me on the road
As long as you've got to travel
Don't you want someone to help you carry your load?
SOme folks are forever movin'
SOme folks gotta be still
DOn't let it get you; there's joy in either
So do what you will
Everyone knows it's the same old feeling
Worlds below the sea
Just you and me and easy
Is where I want to be
Meet me on the highway
Meet me on the road
As long as you've got to travel
Don't you want someone to help you carry your load?
