They made up their minds
And they start-ed pack-ing
They left be-fore the sun came up that day
An exi-t to et-er-nal sum-mer slack-ing
But where were they go-ing with-out ev-er know-ing the way
They drank up the wine
And they got to talk-ing
They now had more im-port-ant things to say
And when the car broke down they start-ed walk-ing
Where were they go-ing with-out ev-er know-ing the way
A-ny-one can see the road that they walk on
i-s paved wi-th gold
it's al-ways sum-mer
they'll ne-ver get cold
they'll nev-er get hung-ry
they'll nev-er get old a-and grey
you can see their shad-ows wand-er-ing off so-me-where
they won't make it home
but they reall-y don't care
they want-ed the high-way
they-re hap-p-ier there to-day
to-day
Their chil-dren woke up
and they could-n't find them
they'd left be-fore the sun came up that day
they just drove off and left it all be-hind em
but where were they go-ing with-out ever
know-ing the way
A-ny-one can see the road that they walk on
i-s paved wi-th gold
it's al-ways sum-mer
they'll ne-ver get cold
they'll nev-er get hung-ry
they'll nev-er get old a-and grey
you can see their shad-ows wand-er-ing off so-me-where
they won't make it home
but they reall-y don't care
they want-ed the high-way
they-re hap-p-ier there to-day
to-day
A-ny-one can see the road that they walk on
i-s paved wi-th gold
it's al-ways sum-mer
they'll ne-ver get cold
they'll nev-er get hung-ry
they'll nev-er get old a-and grey
you can see their shad-ows wand-er-ing off so-me-where
