This was our entry for the Spintunes 14 Round #2 challenge, "Previously on...". We had to write a song to be a prequel to a famous song, such that the hit song appears to be an answer to ours. We chose 'The Way' by Fastball.

lyrics

We made a home on Yellow Brick Road
Received our burdens and we carried the load
We put in the miles; we lived 'em in style
We rested on our laurels for quite awhile
The kids are all grown; the flock has all flown
The nest is empty and our time is our own
So might it be time for partners in crime
To change the scenery, to make it sublime?

Don't you think that it's time we go for a ride?
See things from the other side, try the things we never tried
Hand in hand, eyes open wide
We can go soon as we decide

We'll pack our supplies; no need for goodbyes
We're the only ones in charge of our lives
I know it's still dark, but there's gas in the car
And on the road we'll be wherever we are
As soon as we're gone we'll turn the radio on
Create a soundtrack for this great denouement
If we're so inclined and sick of feeling confined
Then let's take off, no destination in mind

Don't you think that it's time we went on a drive?
See things from the other side, try the things we never tried
Whatever journey inspiration finds
It's high time we made up our minds

Ain't it time we made up our minds?
