Verse
Gm
They made up their minds
Cm
And they started packing
D7 Gm
They left before the sun came up that day
G7 Cm
An exit to eternal summer slacking
Gm D7
But where were they going without ever
Gm
Knowing the way?
Gm
They drank up the wine
Cm
And they got to talking
D7 Gm
They now had more important things to say
G7 Cm
When the car broke down they started walking
Gm D7
Where were they going without even
Gm F
Knowing the way?
[Chorus]
A#
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
F
Is paved with gold
Gm
It's always summer
D7
They'll never get cold
D#
They'll never get hungry
A# F
They'll never get old and grey
A# F
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
Gm
They won't make it home
D7
But they really don't care
D#
They wanted the highway
A# F D7
They're happier there today
[Verse]
Gm
Their children woke up
Cm
And they couldn't find them
D7 Gm
They left before the sun came up that day
G7 Cm
They just drove off and left it all behind'em
Gm D7
But where were they going without ever
Gm F
Knowing the way?
[Chorus]
A#
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
F
Is paved with gold
Gm
It's always summer
D7
They'll never get cold
D#
They'll never get hungry
A# F
They'll never get old and grey
A# F
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
Gm
They won't make it home
D7
But they really don't care
D#
They wanted the highway
A# F D7
They're happier there today
