lyrics

D G
A child will have their fortune told
D A
See how their future might unfold
D G
The sidewalks may be paved with gold
D A D
Or you might live down on Slacktown Road

D G
When all is well and life is sweet
D A
You’re living down on Easy Street
D G
That’s when you know you need to go
D A D
And walk a mile down Slacktown Road

F#m G
If you start at the beginning
F#m G
And walk it to the very end
Em D
You’ll turn around without a sound
A D
And walk back again

D G
When night descends and summer skies
D D
Are filled with stars and fireflies
D G
A lonesome whistle whining low
D A D
Will lead you down to Slacktown Road

D G
Park the car, turn off the lights
D A
Beneath the stars up shining bright

D G
Behold another magic night
D A D
Filled with wonder and delight

F#m G
Surrounded by the unfamiliar
F#m G
An endless valley to explore
Em D
Then you’ll suddenly remember
A D
I’ve been down this road before

D G
The preacher man was right and true
D A
He knew the Bible through and through
D G
He lost his way or so we’re told
D A D
And ended up on Slacktown Road

D G
When all my time on earth is done
D A
I’ll look into the fading sun
D G
One last wish before I go
D A D
Just take me down to Slacktown Road.

F#m G
Slacktown Road is never ending
F#m G
It runs forever and a day
Em D
It may take you where you’re going
A D
It may carry you away
