Verse
G#m
They made up their minds
C#m
And they started packing
D#7 G#m
They left before the sun came up that day
G#7 C#m
An exit to eternal summer slacking
G#m D#7
But where were they going without ever
G#m
Knowing the way?
G#m
They drank up the wine
C#m
And they got to talking
D#7 G#m
They now had more important things to say
G#7 C#m
When the car broke down they started walking
G#m D#7
Where were they going without even
G#m F#
Knowing the way?
[Chorus]
B
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
F#
Is paved with gold
G#m
It's always summer
D#7
They'll never get cold
E
They'll never get hungry
B F#
They'll never get old and grey
B F#
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
G#m
They won't make it home
D#7
But they really don't care
E
They wanted the highway
B F# D#7
They're happier there today
[Verse]
G#m
Their children woke up
C#m
And they couldn't find them
D#7 G#m
They left before the sun came up that day
G#7 C#m
They just drove off and left it all behind'em
G#m D#7
But where were they going without ever
G#m F#
Knowing the way?
[Chorus]
B
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
F#
Is paved with gold
G#m
It's always summer
D#7
They'll never get cold
E
They'll never get hungry
B F#
They'll never get old and grey
B F#
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
G#m
They won't make it home
D#7
But they really don't care
E
They wanted the highway
B F# D#7
They're happier there today
