Verse
A#m
They made up their minds
D#m
And they started packing
F7 A#m
They left before the sun came up that day
A#7 D#m
An exit to eternal summer slacking
A#m F7
But where were they going without ever
A#m
Knowing the way?
A#m
They drank up the wine
D#m
And they got to talking
F7 A#m
They now had more important things to say
A#7 D#m
When the car broke down they started walking
A#m F7
Where were they going without even
A#m G#
Knowing the way?
[Chorus]
C#
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
G#
Is paved with gold
A#m
It's always summer
F7
They'll never get cold
F#
They'll never get hungry
C# G#
They'll never get old and grey
C# G#
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
A#m
They won't make it home
F7
But they really don't care
F#
They wanted the highway
C# G# F7
They're happier there today
[Verse]
A#m
Their children woke up
D#m
And they couldn't find them
F7 A#m
They left before the sun came up that day
A#7 D#m
They just drove off and left it all behind'em
A#m F7
But where were they going without ever
A#m G#
Knowing the way?
[Chorus]
C#
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
G#
Is paved with gold
A#m
It's always summer
F7
They'll never get cold
F#
They'll never get hungry
C# G#
They'll never get old and grey
C# G#
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
A#m
They won't make it home
F7
But they really don't care
F#
They wanted the highway
C# G# F7
They're happier there today
