[Verse 1]
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?

[Verse 2]
They drank up the wine and they got to talking
They now had more important things to say
When the car broke down and they started walking
Where were they going without ever knowing the way?

[Chorus]
Anyone could see the road that 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 gray
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

[Verse 3]
When 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?
[Chorus]
Anyone could see the road that 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 gray
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

[Chorus]
Anyone could see the road that walk on is paved with gold
It's always summer, they'll never get cold
They'll never get hungry, never get old and gray
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
