"The Way" by Fastball
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 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 grey
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 'em
They'd left before the sun came up that day
They just drove off and left it all behind 'em
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 grey
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
