              F#m                                                         Bm
      They made up their minds, and they started packing
              C#7                                                F#m
      They left before the sun came up that day
           F#7                                Bm
      An exit to eternal summer slacking
             F#m                                      C#7                              F#m
      But, where were they going without ever knowing the way?

      They drank up the wine, and they got to talking
      They now had more important things to say
      And when the car broke down they started walking
      Where were they going without ever knowing the way?

                     E                                    A                                               E
                        Anyone could see the road that they walked on was paved in gold
                              F#m                                      C#7
                        And it's always summer, they'll never get cold
                                    D                                        A                           E
                        They'll never get hungry, they'll never get old and gray
                                                      A                              E
                        You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
                                 F#m                                          C#7
                        They won't make it home, but they really don't care
                                 D                                              A                           E         C#7
                        They wanted the highway, they're happy they left today, today~~

      The children woke up, and they couldn't find them
      They left before the sun came up that day
      They just drove off and left it all behind them
      Where were they going without ever knowing the way?

                        Anyone could see the road that they walked on was paved in gold
                        And it's always summer, they'll never get cold
                        They'll never get hungry, they'll never get old and gray
                        You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
                        They won't make it home, but they really don't care
                        They wanted the highway, they're happy they left today, today~~
