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