Intro: D/G/A D/// Bm D // A /// D A G---to rythym of line We were young then, etc.

(D) We’re goin’ on a road trip like the one we took so many years a/(Em)go
Yeah! (A) Goin’ on a road trip like the one we took so many years a/(D)go
(D) We had a brand new Mustang gassed up and rarin’ to (Em) go
With the (A) roof down and the wind blowing through our (D) hair.

We were (G) young then, (A) young (D) carefree and in (Bm) love
(D) But that was so (A) many (D) years (A) a/(G)go

(D) We had no real destination ‘cept to stop for love each (Em) night
No (A) schedules, timelines, nothing we had to do
And nowhere we had to (D) be.
Whatever tickled our fancy was our desti/(Em)ny.
And (A) once again, we’ll have that wild and boundless joy of (D) youth.

We’ll be (G) young again, (A) young, (D) carefree and in (Bm) love,
(D) Just like those (A) many (D) years (A) a/(G)go

(D) Our working life is in our past, we’re free to break our (Em) ties
No (A) ropes to tie us down each day,
Nothing we have to do and nowhere we have to (D) be
We’re older now, but the spirits just the (Em) same
And (A) once again, we’ll enjoy the road trip of our (D) youth

When we were (G) young, (A) young (D) carefree and in (Bm) love
(D) Oh those (A) many (D) years (A) a(G)go.

(D) We're gonna put the roof down and roll wherever the wind will (Em) blow,
(A) Don't care where we're headed, just that we/re together on a road trip
Like the one so many years a/(D)go
Yes, (D) once again, we'll have that wild and boundless joy of (Em) youth,
Cause (A) we're on A road trip just like the one so many years a/(D) go,

And we'll be (G) young again---(A)young, (D) carefree and (Bm) in love, (A) just like those
(D) many years (A)a/(G)go
Yes, (D) just like those (A) many (D)years (A)a/(G)go   (G)  (G)   (D)
