You’re Gonna Go Far Lyrics

[00:06.07] The only time I got to prayin' for a red light
[00:08.70] Was when I saw your destination as a deadline
[00:11.93] "This is normal conversation, babe, it's all fine"
[00:14.51] Makin' quiet calculations where the fault lies
[00:17.42] This is good land, or at least it was
[00:20.18] It takes a strong hand and a sound mind
[00:23.49]
[00:28.50] The college kids are gettin' so young, ain't they?
[00:31.45] They're correctin' all the grammar on a spray paint
[00:34.55] And I even gave up drivin' after nightfall
[00:37.15] I got tired of the frat boys with their brights on
[00:40.15] This is good land, or at least it was
[00:42.98] It takes a strong hand and a sound mind
[00:49.72] It makes me smile to know when things get hard
[00:54.32] Ooh-ooh, you'll be far
[00:57.24] Ooh-ooh, you'll be far from here
[01:01.78] And while I clean shit up in the yard
[01:05.83] Ooh-ooh, you'll be far
[01:08.60] Ooh-ooh, you'll be far far from here
[01:16.12] So, pack up your car, put a hand on your heart
[01:18.84] Say whatever you feel, be wherever you are
[01:21.78] We ain't angry at you, love
[01:24.27] You're the greatest thing we've lost
[01:27.25] The birds will still sing, your folks will still fight
[01:30.19] The boards will still creak, the leaves will still die
[01:32.73] We ain't angry at you, love
[01:35.67] We'll be waitin' for you, love
[01:38.36] And we'll all be here forever
[01:43.85] And we'll all be here forever
[01:51.13] Sure will
[01:52.20]
[02:05.05] We're overdue for a revival
[02:10.44] We spent so long just gettin' by
[02:16.40] That's the thing about survival
[02:20.46] Who the hell-, who the hell likes livin' just to die?
[02:27.67] You told me you would make a difference
[02:33.11] Well, I got drunk and shut you down
[02:38.88] It won't be by your own volition
[02:44.45] If you step foot outside this town
[02:49.01] But it's all we've had
[02:53.33] For always
[02:59.21] So, pack up your car, put a hand on your heart
[03:01.87] Say whatever you feel, be wherever you are
[03:04.59] We ain't angry at you, love
[03:07.29] You're the greatest thing we've lost
[03:10.39] The birds will still sing, your folks will still fight
[03:13.12] The boards will still creak, the leaves will still die
[03:15.93] We ain't angry at you, love
[03:18.68] We'll be waitin' for you, love
[03:21.45] And we'll all be here forever
[03:27.24] And we'll all be here forever
[03:32.50] You're gonna go far
[03:38.09] You're gonna go far
[03:43.92] You're gonna go far
[03:49.58] You're gonna go far
[03:55.35] Yes, you are, ooh-ooh
[03:59.98]
[04:06.12] If you wanna go (go) far
[04:11.81] Then you gotta go (go) far
[04:16.22]
