F#m F#m
They made up their minds,
Bm Bm
and they started packing
C#7 C#7 F#m F#m
They left before the sun came up that day
F#7 F#7 Bm Bm
An exit to eternal summer slacking,
F#m F#m C#7 C#7
But where were they going without ever
F#m F#m
knowing the way
F#m F#m
They drank up the wine
Bm Bm
and they got to talking
C#7 C#7 F#m F#m
They now had more importatnt things to say
F#7 F#7 Bm Bm
When the car broke down they started walking
F#m F#m C#7 C#7
Where were they going without even
F#m F#m E E
knowing the way

CHORUS

A A
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
E E
is paved with gold
F#m F#m
It's always summer
C#7 C#7
They'll never get cold
D D
They'll never get hungry
A A E E
They'll never get old and gray
A A E E
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
F#m F#m
They won't make it home
C#7 C#7
but they really don't care
D D
They wanted the highway
A A E E C#7 C#7
They're happier there today, today

F#m F#m
Their children woke up
Bm Bm
and they couldn't find them
C#7 C#7 F#m F#m
They left before the sun came up that day
F#7 F#7 Bm Bm
They just drove off and left it all behind um
F#m F#m C#7 C#7
but where were they going without ever
F#m F#m E E
knowing the way

Repeat Chorus

F#m F#m, Bm Bm, F#m F#m, C#7 C#7, F#m F#m

About this song: The Way

"The Way" revolves around an older married couple who decide to give it all away by packing up and going driving and drinking. Along the way, their car breaks down, so they continue on foot. As the song goes on, it becomes apparent that these two achieve happiness by losing touch with the world. Fastball bassist Tony Scalzo came up with the idea for the song after reading journalistic articles which described the disappearance of an older married couple, Raymond and Lela Howard from Salado, Texas, who left home in June of 1997 to attend a family reunion but never arrived[1].
