We made up their minds,
and they started packing
Left before the sun came up that day
An exit to eternal summer slacking
But where were they going
without ever knowing the way?
We drank up the wine
and they got to talking
We 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 could see the road
that they walked on
is baked in gold
And it's always summer,
they'll never get cold
They'll never get hungry,
they'll never get old and brave
You can see the shadows
wandering off somewhere
They won't make it home,
but they really don't care
They wanted the highway,
they're happy they're there
Today, today
The children woke up
and they couldn't find them
Left before the sun came up that day
They just drove off
and left it all behind them
Where were they going
without ever knowing the way?
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
is painted in gold
It's always summer,
they'll never get cold
They'll never get hungry,
they'll never get old and gray
You can see the shadows
wandering off somewhere
They won't make it home,
but they really don't care
They wanted the highway,
they're happy there
Today, today
Anyone could 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 shadow
wandering off somewhere
They won't make it home,
but they really don't
They wanted the highway,
they had me there today,
today
You
