The Way
The Way Lyrics
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 with 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 them
They Left before the sun came up that day
They just drove off
And left it all behind them
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
About
This song is a cover of the 1998 Fastball hit, “The Way”. The song centers around a couple who’ve decided to pack up their things and run away to “eternal summer slacking”. The original song was inspired by a true story, in which an elderly couple from Texas left on a road trip to a nearby Pioneer Day festival without telling their families or friends. They were missing for two weeks, when they were found dead at the bottom of a ravine, hundreds of miles from their destination. Fastball’s lead singer, Tony Scalzo said he wanted to tell a romanticized version of the story, in which the couple is running away on a fun adventure.
Gigi takes this song and reworks it with his classic disco and eurodance flare, and the alternative-rock hit is reborn as a club banger.
