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

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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
And we'll all be here forever
And we'll all be here forever
We sure will
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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 creek
The leaves will still die
We ain't angry at you, love
We'll be waiting for you, love
[Post-Chorus]
And we'll all be here forever
And we'll all be here forever
[Outro]
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
[Instrumental Outro]
Jedini put kad sam se molio za crveno svjetlo
Bio kad sam vidio vašu destinaciju kao rok
Ovo je normalan razgovor, dušo, sve je u redu
Tihim proračunima gdje se kriva laži
Ovo je dobro zemljište, ili barem je bilo
Potrebno je jaku ruku i zvučni um
[VERSE 2]
Djeca na fakultetu postaju tako mlade, zar ne?
Ispravljaju svu gramatiku na boji u spreju
I čak sam se javio nakon noći
Umorio sam se od frat dječaka sa svojim sjajnim
Ovo je dobro zemljište, ili barem je bilo
Potrebno je jaku ruku i zvučni um
[Pre-hor]
Natjera me da se osmjehnem kad znam kada stvari postanu teško
Ooh-ooh, bit ćeš daleko
Ooh-ooh, bit ćete daleko odavde
I, dok čistim sranje u dvorištu
Ooh-ooh, bit ćeš daleko
Ooh-ooh, bit ćete daleko, daleko odavde
[Chorus]
Dakle, spakirajte automobil, stavite ruku na svoje srce
Reci šta god da se osećaš, bilo gde god da se nalaziš
Nismo ljuti na tebe, ljubavi
Ti si najveća stvar koju smo izgubili
Ptice će i dalje pjevati
Vaši se ljudi i dalje bore
Odbori će i dalje škripati
Listovi će i dalje umrijeti
Nismo ljuti na tebe, ljubavi
Čekat ćemo te, ljubavi
[Post-chorus]
I svi ćemo biti zauvijek ovdje
I svi ćemo biti zauvijek ovdje
Sigurno ćemo
[VERSE 3]
Mi smo zakasnili za preporod
Proveli smo tako dugo
To je stvar o opstanku
Ko dovraga - ko dođavola voli živjeti samo da umre?
Rekli ste mi da biste napravili razliku
Pa, napio sam se i isključio te
Neće biti po vašoj volji
Ako izlazite ispred ovog grada
Ali sve je što smo imali
Za uvek
[Chorus]
Dakle, spakirajte automobil, stavite ruku na svoje srce
Reci šta god da se osećaš, bilo gde god da se nalaziš
Nismo ljuti na tebe, ljubavi
Ti si najveća stvar koju smo izgubili
Ptice će i dalje pjevati
Vaši se ljudi i dalje bore
Odbori će i dalje potoci
Listovi će i dalje umrijeti
Nismo ljuti na tebe, ljubavi
Čekat ćemo te, ljubavi
[Post-chorus]
I svi ćemo biti zauvijek ovdje
I svi ćemo biti zauvijek ovdje
[Outro]
Ideš daleko
Ideš daleko
Ideš daleko
Ideš daleko
Da, jesi
(Ooh-ooh)
Ako želite daleko
Onda moraš ići daleko
[Instrumental Outro]
