I had no idea there was a story behind this song.
This is the story > https://youtu.be/SJjhzyV7Wak

19 years ago, Austin-band Fastball released "The Way," a song which would spend seven weeks on top of the charts. While many are familiar with the famous chorus, far fewer know of the true - and terrifying - story behind that harmony.
Fastball- The Way (with 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
But 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 happy 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 happy there today , today

Thank you my friend SGT John " Mac " McConnell for sharing Fastball performing the upbeat song
"The Way"
Austin City Limits comes to mind:-)
The Way
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They made up their minds, and they started packing
And 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
But now had more important things to say
And when the car broke down
They started walking
But 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
And never get hungry, 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
[Verse 2]
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 'em
But 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
And never get hungry, 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
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Anyone can see the road that they walk on is paved in gold
And it's always summer, they'll never get cold
And never get hungry, 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"
