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 thay
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 important 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

Knowing the way?

Anyone can see the road that they walk on

Is paved with gold

They won't make it home

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

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

They just drove off and left it all behind'em

But where were they going without ever

Knowing the way?

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].
