Fastball - The Way Lyrics One Hit Wonders Fastball The Way Lyrics 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? Anyone could 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 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 The children woke up And they couldn't find 'em They left before the sun came up that day They just drove off and left it all behind 'em (Leaving it all behind) Where were they going without ever knowing the way? Anyone could 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 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 Anyone could 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 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 (Leaving it all behind) [Thanks to arpace53 for correcting these lyrics] Writer: Anthony Scalzo Publisher: The Bicycle Music Company Back to: One Hit Wonders Lyrics

The Way Info:

• Fastball front man Tony Scalzo came up with the idea for the song after reading an article which described the disappearance of an elderly married couple, Lela and Raymond Howard from Salado, Texas, who left home in June 1997 to attend the Pioneer Day festival at nearby Temple, Texas, despite Lela's Alzheimers and Raymond recently recovering from brain surgery. They were discovered two weeks later, dead, at the bottom of a ravine near Hot Springs, Arkansas, hundreds of miles off their intended route. • Tony Scalzo said: "It's a romanticized take on what happened" - he "pictured them taking off to have fun, like they did when they first met."
