in hive-137433 •  4 years ago 

Greetings to the entire community.

Fastball bassist Tony Scalzo composed the song after reading a newspaper article describing the disappearance of an elderly couple, Lela and Howard Raymond from Salado, Texas who left their home in June 1997 to attend Pioneer Day. festival, in Temple, Texas and never reached their destination. They were discovered two weeks later, dead, in a ravine near Hot Springs, Arkansas, hundreds of miles from their end of the trail. About the song, Scalzo said: "It is a romantic way of assuming what happened."

#stayhome.

Fastball
The Way

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 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 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
Their 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 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 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 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 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


And remember, stay home and together we will win.
