The Way

They made up their minds and they started packing

And left before the sun came up that day

An exit to eternal summer slacking

But where were they going without ever knowing the way?

They drank up the wine and they got to talking

But now, had more important things to say

And when the car broke down, they started walking

Where were they going without ever knowing the way?

Anyone can see the road that they walk on is paved in gold

And it's always summer, they'll never get cold

They'll never get hungry

They'll never get old and gray

You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere

They won't make it home, but they really don't care

They wanted the highway

They're happier there today, today

The children woke up, and they couldn't find them

They left before the sun came up that day

They just drove off and left it all behind 'em (Leavin' it all behind)

Where were they going without ever knowing the way?

Anyone can see the road that they walk on is paved in gold

And it's always summer, they'll never get cold

They'll never get hungry

They'll never get old and gray

You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere

They won't make it home, but they really don't care

They wanted the highway

They're happier there today, today

Anyone could see the road that they walk on is paved in gold

And it's always summer, they'll never get cold

They'll never get hungry

They'll never get old and gray

You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere

They won't make it home, but they really don't care

They wanted the highway

They're happier there today, today

Leavin' it all behind
