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 the car broke down they started walking   Where were they going without ever   Knowing the way?     [Chorus:]  Anyone can see the road that 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 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     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?     [Chorus]
