Verse 1:
          Eb          Ab        Eb               Ab
There are times when I want to pick up and say goodbye
       Eb                   Bb
To the oldest friends I've known
            Eb                  Ab
Jump in the car with no street map
               Eb                  Ab
No long sleeve shirts or shoes to pack
         Eb        Bb         Eb       Ab
Just the sound of you and my guitar

Chorus:
               Eb             Ab
'Cause I can't wait 'til the day
         Eb          Ab
You come running to say
             Eb         F       Bb
Those summer nights are here to stay
       Eb      Ab
We can run far away
           Eb         Ab
Not tell a soul for a day
      Eb     Bb        Eb
Carry me, oh freedom's delight

Verse 2:
                  Eb              Ab
'Cause I've spent times locked in grooves
           Eb               Ab
Trapped in mama's old black shoes
      Eb                 Bb
Or my papa's, folks' and friends'
       Eb       Ab          Eb          Ab
Always wanted a way just to have my own say
             Eb     Bb            Eb     Ab
And walk the untrod path 'til the end

Chorus:

I can't wait 'til the day

Those summer nights are here to stay

We can run far away

Verse 3:
       Eb          Ab
As the map tore in two
            Eb            Ab
I swore and vented like a fool
         Eb                     Bb
Watching miles tick, road signs fly
          Eb           Ab
But I was running from myself
          Eb     Ab
There was no one else
          Eb        Bb          Eb    Ab
Who could know that better than I

Chorus:
        Eb            Ab
I can't wait 'til the day
         Eb         Ab
You come running to say

Those summer nights are here to stay
       Eb      Ab
We can run far away

Carry me, oh freedom's delight

Verse 4:
       Eb               Ab
As the light changed to red
              Eb                   Ab
I wrapped the scarf tight round my head
      Eb                  Bb
I was cold as the Kittery tide
          Eb               Ab
There was not much more to see
     Eb          Ab
So I turned back quietly
    Eb           Bb           Eb     Ab
And crossed back to the other side

Chorus:
        Eb            Ab
I can't wait 'til the day
         Eb         Ab
You come running to say
             Eb         F       Bb
Those summer nights are here to stay
       Eb      Ab
We can run far away
           Eb         Ab
Not tell a soul for a day
      Eb     Bb        Eb       Ab
Carry me, oh freedom's delight

Those summer nights are here to stay
       Eb      Ab
We can run far away

Not tell a soul for a day

Carry me, oh freedom's delight
