You're Gonna Go Far (We'll All Be Here Forever Bonus Track)

(album: Stick Season - 2022)

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)
