They made up their minds and they started pa cking
The y left before the s un came up that day
An exit to eternal sl acking
But where were they going without ever knowing the way ?
They drank up the wine and they got to ta lking
They now had more importan t things to say
And when the car broke down they started walk ing
But w here were they going without ever knowing the way ?
Anyone could see the road that they walk on is paved i n gold
An d it's always summer, they'll n ever get cold
They 'll never get hungry. They'll nev er get old and gray.
You can see their s hadows wandering off somew here
Th ey won't get make it home, but they real ly don't care
Th ey wanted the highway. They're happy there today, tod ay
The children woke up and they couldn't fi nd them
The y left before the sun came up that day
Th ey just drove off and left it all behi nd them
But where were they going withou t ever knowing the way ?
