| 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 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 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 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
