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 their 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 with gold

It's always summer, They'll never get cold
C                                         G                                         D         D7
They'll never get hungry, They'll never get old and grey

You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere,
Em                                           B7
They won't make it home But they really don't care,
C                                         G                                         D     B
They wanted the highway. They're happier there today    Today.

Their 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 But where were they going without ever. Knowing the way?

Anyone can see the road that they 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 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.
