Lyrics
They made up their minds and they started packing
They made a decision and started preparing to leave.
They left before the sun came up that day
They departed early in the morning.
An exit to eternal summer slacking
They sought an escape to perpetual relaxation and ease.
But where were they going without ever knowing the way?
They embarked on a journey without knowing the destination.
They drank up the wine and they got to talking
They consumed alcohol and engaged in conversation.
They now had more important things to say
They found more significant matters to discuss.
And when the car broke down they started walking
When their vehicle failed, they began walking.
Where were they going without ever knowing the way?
They continued their journey without a clear direction.
Anyone can see the road that they walk on is paved with gold
Observing their path suggests it's filled with wealth and opportunity.
It's always summer they'll never get cold
They seem to always experience enjoyable times.
They'll never get hungry, they'll never get old and gray
They anticipate a life without hardships or aging.
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
Their presence can be seen, but their destination is unclear.
They won't make it home but they really don't care
They might not reach home, but they are indifferent about it.
They wanted the highway, they're happier there today, today
They desire the open road and find contentment in it.
The children woke up and they couldn't find 'em
Their departure alarms the children who cannot locate them.
They left before the sun came up that day
Similar to their initial departure, they left early in the morning.
They just drove off and left it all behind 'em
They drove away, abandoning everything.
Where were they going without ever knowing the way?
They continued their journey without a known destination.
Anyone can see the road that they walk on is paved with gold
Their path appears rich with opportunities and success.
It's always summer they'll never get cold
They seemingly experience eternal joy and warmth.
They'll never get hungry, they'll never get old and gray
They believe they will never suffer hunger or age.
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
They're visible, but where they're heading is unknown.
They won't make it home but they really don't care
They may not reach home, yet they are unconcerned.
They wanted the highway, they're happier there today, today
They find happiness in traveling the highway.
Anyone can see the road that they walk on is paved with gold
Their path seems abundant with opportunities.
It's always summer they'll never get cold
They appear to consistently enjoy a carefree, warm existence.
They'll never get hungry, they'll never get old and gray
They believe they will never face hunger or aging.
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
They're present but heading towards an uncertain destination.
They won't make it home but they really don't care
They seem unbothered about not reaching home.
They wanted the highway, they're happier there today, today
They find joy and contentment in traveling.
