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.
When the car broke down   and they started walking,
where were they going without ever knowing the way?
 
Anyone could see the road that walk on is paved with gold,
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.
 
When 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 them
but where were they going without ever knowing the way?
 
Anyone could see the road that walk on is paved with gold,
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.
