You’re Gonna Go Far

The only time I got to praying for a red light

Was when I saw your destination as a deadline

This is normal conversation, babe, it's all fine

Making quiet calculations where the fault lies

"This is good land," or at least it was

It takes a strong hand and a sound mind

The college kids are getting so young, ain't they?

They're correcting all the grammar on our spray paint

And I even gave up driving after nightfall

I got tired of the frat boys with the brights on

"This is good land," or at least it was

It takes a strong hand and a sound mind

It makes me smile to know when things get hard, ooh

You'll be far, ooh, you'll be far from here

That while I clean shit up in the yard, ooh

You'll be far, ooh, you'll be far, far from here

So pack up your car, put a hand to your heart

Say whatever you feel, be wherever you are

We ain't angry at you, love, you're the greatest thing we've lost

The birds'll still sing, your folks'll still fight

The boards'll still creak, the leaves will still die

We ain't angry at you, love, we'll be waiting for you, love

And we'll all be here forever

And we'll all be here forever

Sure will

We're overdue for a revival

We spent so long just getting by

That's the thing about survival

Who the hell, who the hell likes living just to die?

You told me you would make a difference

Well, I got drunk and shut you down

It won't be by your own volition

If you step foot outside this town

But it's all we've had

For always

So pack up your car, put a hand to your heart

Say whatever you feel, be wherever you are

We ain't angry at you, love, you're the greatest thing we've lost

The birds'll still sing, your folks'll still fight

The boards'll still creak, the leaves will still die

We ain't angry at you, love, we'll be waiting for you, love

And we'll all be here forever

And we'll all be here forever

You're gonna go far

You're gonna go far

You're gonna go far

You're gonna go far

Yes, you are

If you wanna go far (Go far)

Then you gotta go far (Go far)
