They made up their minds
And they started packing
They 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
They 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 could see the road that they walk on is paved with gold
And it's always summer,
They'll never get cold
They'll never get hungry
They'll never get old and grayYou 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, todayThe 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 themBut where were they going without ever knowing the way?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 happy 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 happy there today, today
