The Way
FastballThey made up their
And they started
They left before the sun up that day
An exit to eternal summer
But where were they without ever
Knowing the ?
They up the wine
And they got to
They now had more things to say
And when the car down
They started
Where were they going without ever
Knowing the way?
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
Is paved in
And it's always
They'll never get cold
They'll never get
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 up
And they couldn't find
They left before the sun came up that day
They just off and left it all behind 'em
But where were they going without ever
Knowing the way?
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
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
The song is about a newspaper article about an old couple that went on a trip and some how ended up on the side of the road dead.
Scalzo wrote the song before the story had concluded and the couple were found dead.
