Fastball – The Way Lyrics 13 years ago
I love this song. Every time I listen to it I get goose bumps and/or start to cry.
Okay well anyways, I read this on this one website and it sounds pretty legit:
"An elderly couple in Texas (where Fastball is from) went out to drive to a Pioneer Day Festival one day in June 1997, but they never arrived. Both of them were found dead 2 weeks later at the bottom of a ravine in Arkansas, which was way off of their original driving route. Tony Scalzo, the bassist of the band, was inspired to write the song after reading the story."
This gives a different meaning to the lines "And when the car broke down they started walking
Where were they going without ever knowing the way?" meaning that after the car crashed their spirits just left the car and.... well you can figure out the rest. I'm just going to stop typing now because if I don't I'm going to talk about every line in the song and bore everyone to death. Sorry if this didn't help anyone, I just thought I would put in my 2 cents worth(:
