D#
Do ya need a break from modern livin'?
D# G#
Do ya long to shed your weary load?
A#
If your nerves are raw and your brain is fried, just grab a friend and take a ride
A# D#
Together upon the open road
C'mon, Maxie! Ah-yuk!
D#
All in all, I'd rather have detention
D# G#
All in all, I'd rather eat a toad
A#
And the old man drives like such a klutz, that I'm about to hurl my guts
A# D#
Directly upon the road
G#
There's nothin' can upset me
Gm
'Cause now we're on our way
G# D#
Our trusty map will guide us straight and true
G#
Roxanne, please don't forget me
Gm
I will return someday
F A#
Though I may be in traction when I do
(Goofy & Max sing at the same time)
D# D#
Me and Max relaxin' like the old days/This is worse than dragon breath and acne
D# G# G#
In a buddy-buddy kind of mode/I'm so mad I think I may explode
A#
When I see that highway, I could cry
A#
Ya know, that's funny, so could I
A# D#
Just bein' out on the open road
(Interlude: D# E A)
A
Howdy, boys, is this the way to Nashville?
A D
Watch it, Mac! Or you'll be gettin' towed
E
I'm in no hurry to arrive, 'cause I'll be turnin' sixty-five
E A
The next time I sees the open road
A#
Just a week of rest and relaxation (Yeah!)
A# D#
And the odd romantic episode (Very odd!)
F
And it's Californ-I-A or bust!
F
Look out, you dirtbags, eat my dust
F A#
From now on, I own the open road!
G# Gm
Just me and little Maxie, my pip-squeak pioneer
G# D#
They're partners forever westward ho! Yeehaw!
G# Gm
Could someone call a taxi, and get me outta here
F A# C
To Beverly Hills 9-0-2-1-0 Oh!
F
Every day another new adventure
F A#
Every mile another new zip code
C
And the years we had are gone for good
C#
And I'd go with them if I could
C
I've got no strings on me
C#
I'm feelin' fancy-free
C
How wonderful to be
F (C F C F C F)
On the open road!
