5 6 6 6 6
They made up their minds
6 6 -5 5 -4 -3
And they started packing
5 6 6 6 6 -6 6 -4 5 -5 6
They left before the sun came up that day
6 -7 -7 -7 -7 -7* -7 7 -6 6 6 -5
An exit to eternal summer slacking
6 6 6 6 -5 5 -4 -4 5 -5 5 -4 -3
But where were they going without ever knowing the way?
5 6 6 6 6
They drank up the wine
6 6 -5 5 -4 -3
And they got to talking
6 6 6 6 6 -6 6 -4 5 -5 6
They now had more important things to say
6 -7 -7 -7 -7 -7* -7 7 -6 6 6 -5
And when the car broke down they started walking
6 6 6 6-5 5 -4 -4 5 -5 5 -4 -3
Where were they going without ever knowing the way?
[Chorus:]
3 -3 -4 5 -5 6 7 6 -5 5 -5 6 7 6 -5 -4
Anyone can see the road that they walk on is paved in gold
-7 6 -5 5 -5
And it's always summer
6 7 6 -5 6
They'll never get cold
-7 6 -5 5 -5 -3
They'll never get hungry
7 7 6 -5 5 6 6 -5
They'll never get old and grey
3 -3 -4 5 -5 6 7 6 -5 5 -5 6 7 6 -5 -4
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
-7 6 -5 5 -5
They won't make it home
6 7 6 -5 6
But they really don't care
6 -7 6 -5 4 -3
They wanted the highway
7 7 6 -5 5 6 6 -5... 6 6
They're happier there today, today
