  • This song, I loved loved loved it. Now I realize....it's dark as heck!!! Like wow! The story behind this song is sooo creepy :D But really that only makes it that much cooler, in my opinion. Great song, love it, but I don't own it...they do.

      It sound like people that left there bodies or died and don't remember because of the chorus.
      they never get hungry, old or cold, it always sunny, their shadow is wondering off some we're ( no body to cart a shadow) and they wanted the highway and there happier this way so like they Inherited the earth, and took to the highway. And Earth is their backyard

    Music is about what you want it to be about. That's why it moves you.

      Actually you are wrong on this one. It’s not a harmless fantasy. It is about an elderly couple the husband had brain surgery and the mother was showing dementia. They left their home on a road trip and never returned. Look up the back story on CZcams.

    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 with gold
    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…

      Not suicide, an old couple that wanted to just drive around a lot and go on permanent vacation.. But they had dementia or alzheimers, got lost in the desert, somewhere.. and finally wandering, disoriented, and died.. Their car was found, no foul play, they just wandered off into the twilight zone, basically..The song hints their spirits are wandering and happy to be on permanent wandering vacation.

I like higher pitched songs it's best because it's my favorite. Teen voice or kid version but it's either both, it's like a same thing as higher pitched they're similarized. Could be high tone songs are ok too, so I also like that. High tone songs is like a same thing as higher pitched, and I want somebody a favor to help me download it on higher pitched okay, thank you
