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