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 a spray paint And I even gave up driving after nightfall I got tired of the frat boys with their brights on This is good land, or at least it was It takes a strong hand and a sound mind (a sound mind) It makes me smile to know when things get hard Ooh-ooh, you'll be far Ooh-ooh, you'll be far from here And while I clean shit up in the yard Ooh-ooh, you'll be far Ooh-ooh, you'll be far, far from here So, pack up your car, put a hand on 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 will still sing, your folks will still fight The boards will 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 (whoo-hoo-ooh) We're overdue for a revival We spent so long just getting by But that's the thing about survival Who the hell-, who the hell likes livin' just to die? You told me you would make a difference I got drunk and shut you down And it won't be of your own volition If you step foot out of this town But it's all we've had For always (oh-oh) So, pack up your car, put a hand on 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 will still sing, your folks will still fight The boards will 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 (you're gonna go far) Yes, you are (ooh-ooh) If you wanna go (if you wanna go) far Then you gotta go (then you gotta go) far You gotta go far
