You're Gonna Go Far

[Verse 1: 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

[Verse 2: Noah Kahan, Noah Kahan & Brandi Carlile, Brandi Carlile]

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 (A sound mind)

[Pre-Chorus: Noah Kahan, Noah Kahan & Brandi Carlile]

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: Noah Kahan, Noah Kahan & Brandi Carlile]

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: Noah Kahan & Brandi Carlile, Noah Kahan, Brandi Carlile]

And we'll all be here forever

And we'll all be here forever

Sure will (Woohoo-ooh-ooh)

[Verse 3: Brandi Carlile]

We're overdue for a revival

We spent so long just getting by

But 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

I got drunk and shut you down

And it won't be of your own volition

If you step foot out of this town

[Bridge: Brandi Carlile & Noah Kahan, Brandi Carlile]

But it's all we've had

For always

Oh-oh

[Chorus: Noah Kahan & Brandi Carlile]

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: Noah Kahan & Brandi Carlile]

And we'll all be here forever

And we'll all be here forever

[Outro: Noah Kahan & Brandi Carlile, Brandi Carlile, Noah Kahan]

You're gonna go far

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 (If you wanna go) far

Then you gotta go (Then you gotta go) far

You gotta go far
