You’re Gonna Go Far - Noah Kahan

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 their 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-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

We 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 livin' 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 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

Yes, you are

(Ooh-ooh)

If you wanna go far

Then you gotta go far
