Verse
Cm
They made up their minds
Fm
And they started packing
G7 Cm
They left before the sun came up that day
C7 Fm
An exit to eternal summer slacking
Cm G7
But where were they going without ever
Cm
Knowing the way?
Cm
They drank up the wine
Fm
And they got to talking
G7 Cm
They now had more important things to say
C7 Fm
When the car broke down they started walking
Cm G7
Where were they going without even
Cm A#
Knowing the way?
[Chorus]
D#
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
A#
Is paved with gold
Cm
It's always summer
G7
They'll never get cold
G#
They'll never get hungry
D# A#
They'll never get old and grey
D# A#
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
Cm
They won't make it home
G7
But they really don't care
G#
They wanted the highway
D# A# G7
They're happier there today
[Verse]
Cm
Their children woke up
Fm
And they couldn't find them
G7 Cm
They left before the sun came up that day
C7 Fm
They just drove off and left it all behind'em
Cm G7
But where were they going without ever
Cm A#
Knowing the way?
[Chorus]
D#
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
A#
Is paved with gold
Cm
It's always summer
G7
They'll never get cold
G#
They'll never get hungry
D# A#
They'll never get old and grey
D# A#
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
Cm
They won't make it home
G7
But they really don't care
G#
They wanted the highway
D# A# G7
They're happier there today
