Noah Kahan – You’re Gonna Go Far Lyrics

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
I’m making quiet calculations to 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

But it makes me smile to know when things get hard
You’ll be far, you’ll be far from here

That while I clean shit up in the yard
You’ll be far, 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 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 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

If you wanna go far
Then, you gotta go far
