They made up their minds
and they started packing
they left before the sun came up that day
and 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
but where were they going without ever knowing the way?

Anyone could see 
the road 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 wondering off somewhere
they won't make it home
but they really don't care
they wanted the highway
they're happy 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 them
But where were they going without ever knowing the way?

Anyone could see 
the road 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 wondering off somewhere
they won't make it home
but they really don't care
they wanted the highway
they're happy there today, today
