They made up their minds,
Bm baritone chordBm
and they started packing

They left before the sun came up that day
F#7 baritone chordF#7 Bm baritone chordBm
An exit to eternal summer slacking,
F#m baritone chordF#m C#7 baritone chordC#7
But where were they going without ever
F#m baritone chordF#m
knowing the way
F#m baritone chordF#m
They drank up the wine
Bm baritone chordBm
and they got to talking

They now had more importatnt things to say

Where were they going without even
F#m baritone chordF#m E baritone chordE

CHORUS

A baritone chordA
Anyone can see the road that they walk on

It's always summer
C#7 baritone chordC#7
They'll never get cold
D baritone chordD
They'll never get hungry
A baritone chordA E baritone chordE
They'll never get old and gray
A baritone chordA E baritone chordE
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
F#m baritone chordF#m
They won't make it home
C#7 baritone chordC#7
but they really don't care
D baritone chordD
They wanted the highway
A baritone chordA E baritone chordE C#7 baritone chordC#7
They're happier there today, today

F#m baritone chordF#m
Their children woke up
Bm baritone chordBm
and they couldn't find them
C#7 baritone chordC#7 F#m baritone chordF#m
They left before the sun came up that day

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].
