Well I don't wanna be President

Superman or Clark Kent

I don't wanna walk 'round in their shoes

'Cause I don't know who's side I'm on

I don't know my right from wrong

I don't know where I'm going to

I don't know about you

I'll be the rain falling on your fire escape

And I may not be the man you want me to

I can be myself, how 'bout you?

I don't wanna make you mad

I don't wanna meet your dad

I don't wanna be your dream come true

'Cause I don't know just what I've found

I don't know my sky from ground

I don't know where I'm going to

I don't know about you

I'll be the rain falling on your fire escape

And I may not be the man you want me to

I can be myself, how 'bout you

I'll be the rain falling on your fire escape

And I may not be the man you want me to

I can be myself, how 'bout you

I can be myself, how 'bout you

I can be myself

How 'bout you

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?

Chorus:

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

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

(repeat)
