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
Bilo kad sam vidio vaše odredište kao rok
Ovo je normalan razgovor, dušo, sve je u redu
Izrađujući mirne proračune u kojima leži greška
Ovo je dobra zemlja, ili je barem bilo
Potrebno je snažnu ruku i zvučan um
[Stih 2]
Djeca s fakulteta postaju tako mlada, zar ne?
Ispravljaju svu gramatiku na spreju
I čak sam odustao od vožnje nakon noći
Umorio sam se od frat dječaka s njihovim briljama
Ovo je dobra zemlja, ili je barem bilo
Potrebno je snažnu ruku i zvučan um
[Predhorus]
Nasmiješi me kad znam kada stvari postanu teške
Ooh-ooh, bit ćeš daleko
Ooh-ooh, bit ćeš daleko odavde
I, dok čistim sranje u dvorištu
Ooh-ooh, bit ćeš daleko
Ooh-ooh, bit ćeš daleko, daleko odavde
[Zbor]
Dakle, spakirajte automobil, stavite ruku na srce
Recite što god osjećali, budite gdje god bili
Nismo ljuti na tebe, ljubavi
Ti si najveća stvar koju smo izgubili
Ptice će i dalje pjevati
Vaši će se ljudi i dalje boriti
Ploče će i dalje škripati
Lišće će i dalje umrijeti
Nismo ljuti na tebe, ljubavi
Čekat ćemo te, ljubavi
[Post-zbor]
I svi ćemo zauvijek biti ovdje
I svi ćemo zauvijek biti ovdje
Sigurni smo
[Stih 3]
Prekasni smo za preporod
Toliko smo dugo proveli i proveli se
To je stvar u preživljavanju
Tko je dovraga - tko dovraga voli livin 'samo umrijeti?
Rekli ste mi da ćete napraviti razliku
Pa, napio sam se i zatvorio te
To neće biti po vašoj volji
Ako zakoračite izvan ovog grada
Ali to je sve što smo imali
Zauvjek
[Zbor]
Dakle, spakirajte automobil, stavite ruku na srce
Recite što god osjećali, budite gdje god bili
Nismo ljuti na tebe, ljubavi
Ti si najveća stvar koju smo izgubili
Ptice će i dalje pjevati
Vaši će se ljudi i dalje boriti
Ploče će i dalje potok
Lišće će i dalje umrijeti
Nismo ljuti na tebe, ljubavi
Čekat ćemo te, ljubavi
[Post-zbor]
I svi ćemo zauvijek biti ovdje
I svi ćemo zauvijek biti ovdje
[Outro]
Ići ćeš daleko
Ići ćeš daleko
Ići ćeš daleko
Ići ćeš daleko
Da, jesi
(Ooh-ooh)
Ako želiš ići daleko
Onda moraš otići daleko
[Instrumental Outro]
