Verse
Fm
They made up their minds
A#m
And they started packing
C7 Fm
They left before the sun came up that day
F7 A#m
An exit to eternal summer slacking
Fm C7
But where were they going without ever
Fm
Knowing the way?
Fm
They drank up the wine
A#m
And they got to talking
C7 Fm
They now had more important things to say
F7 A#m
When the car broke down they started walking
Fm C7
Where were they going without even
Fm D#
Knowing the way?
[Chorus]
G#
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
D#
Is paved with gold
Fm
It's always summer
C7
They'll never get cold
C#
They'll never get hungry
G# D#
They'll never get old and grey
G# D#
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
Fm
They won't make it home
C7
But they really don't care
C#
They wanted the highway
G# D# C7
They're happier there today
[Verse]
Fm
Their children woke up
A#m
And they couldn't find them
C7 Fm
They left before the sun came up that day
F7 A#m
They just drove off and left it all behind'em
Fm C7
But where were they going without ever
Fm D#
Knowing the way?
[Chorus]
G#
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
D#
Is paved with gold
Fm
It's always summer
C7
They'll never get cold
C#
They'll never get hungry
G# D#
They'll never get old and grey
G# D#
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
Fm
They won't make it home
C7
But they really don't care
C#
They wanted the highway
G# D# C7
They're happier there today
