Verse
Bm
They made up their minds
Em
And they started packing
F#7 Bm
They left before the sun came up that day
B7 Em
An exit to eternal summer slacking
Bm F#7
But where were they going without ever
Bm
Knowing the way?
Bm
They drank up the wine
Em
And they got to talking
F#7 Bm
They now had more important things to say
B7 Em
When the car broke down they started walking
Bm F#7
Where were they going without even
Bm A
Knowing the way?
[Chorus]
D
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
A
Is paved with gold
Bm
It's always summer
F#7
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
Bm
They won't make it home
F#7
But they really don't care
G
They wanted the highway
D A F#7
They're happier there today
[Verse]
Bm
Their children woke up
Em
And they couldn't find them
F#7 Bm
They left before the sun came up that day
B7 Em
They just drove off and left it all behind'em
Bm F#7
But where were they going without ever
Bm A
Knowing the way?
[Chorus]
D
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
A
Is paved with gold
Bm
It's always summer
F#7
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
Bm
They won't make it home
F#7
But they really don't care
G
They wanted the highway
D A F#7
They're happier there today
