Verse
Dm
They made up their minds
Gm
And they started packing
A7 Dm
They left before the sun came up that day
D7 Gm
An exit to eternal summer slacking
Dm A7
But where were they going without ever
Dm
Knowing the way?
Dm
They drank up the wine
Gm
And they got to talking
A7 Dm
They now had more important things to say
D7 Gm
When the car broke down they started walking
Dm A7
Where were they going without even
Dm C
Knowing the way?
[Chorus]
F
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
C
Is paved with gold
Dm
It's always summer
A7
They'll never get cold
A#
They'll never get hungry
F C
They'll never get old and grey
F C
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
Dm
They won't make it home
A7
But they really don't care
A#
They wanted the highway
F C A7
They're happier there today
[Verse]
Dm
Their children woke up
Gm
And they couldn't find them
A7 Dm
They left before the sun came up that day
D7 Gm
They just drove off and left it all behind'em
Dm A7
But where were they going without ever
Dm C
Knowing the way?
[Chorus]
F
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
C
Is paved with gold
Dm
It's always summer
A7
They'll never get cold
A#
They'll never get hungry
F C
They'll never get old and grey
F C
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
Dm
They won't make it home
A7
But they really don't care
A#
They wanted the highway
F C A7
They're happier there today
