Lyrics

[00:06.01] The only time I got to praying for a red light
[00:08.81] Was when I saw your destination as a deadline
[00:11.68] "This is normal conversation, babe, it's all fine"
[00:14.50] Making quiet calculations where the fault lies
[00:17.35] This is good land, or at least it was
[00:20.05] It takes a strong hand and a sound mind
[00:28.55] The college kids are getting so young, ain't they?
[00:31.35] They're correcting all the grammar on a spray paint
[00:34.18] And I even gave up driving after nightfall
[00:37.02] I got tired of the frat boys with their brights on
[00:39.82] This is good land, or at least it was
[00:42.73] It takes a strong hand and a sound mind (a sound mind)
[00:49.88] It makes me smile to know when things get hard
[00:54.43] Ooh-ooh, you'll be far
[00:57.00] Ooh-ooh, you'll be far from here
[01:01.42] And while I clean - up in the yard
[01:05.83] Ooh-ooh, you'll be far
[01:08.78] Ooh-ooh, you'll be far, far from here
[01:16.27] So, pack up your car, put a hand on your heart
[01:18.86] Say whatever you feel, be wherever you are
[01:21.49] We ain't angry at you, love
[01:24.03] You're the greatest thing we've lost
[01:27.17] The birds will still sing, your folks will still fight
[01:29.96] The boards will still creak, the leaves will still die
[01:32.55] We ain't angry at you, love
[01:35.43] We'll be waiting for you, love
[01:38.25] And we'll all be here forever
[01:43.74] And we'll all be here forever
[01:50.90] Sure will (whoo-hoo-ooh)
[02:05.06] We're overdue for a revival
[02:10.48] We spent so long just getting by
[02:16.41] But that's the thing about survival
[02:19.88] Who the hell-, who the hell likes livin' just to die?
[02:27.35] You told me you would make a difference
[02:33.12] I got drunk and shut you down
[02:38.73] And it won't be of your own volition
[02:44.31] If you step foot out of this town
[02:49.17] But it's all we've had
[02:53.59] For always (oh-oh)
[02:59.39] So, pack up your car, put a hand on your heart
[03:01.99] Say whatever you feel, be wherever you are
[03:04.52] We ain't angry at you, love
[03:07.43] You're the greatest thing we've lost
[03:10.58] The birds will still sing, your folks will still fight
[03:13.05] The boards will still creak, the leaves will still die
[03:16.14] We ain't angry at you, love
[03:18.50] We'll be waiting for you, love
[03:21.39] And we'll all be here forever
[03:27.02] And we'll all be here forever
[03:32.38] You're gonna go far
[03:38.25] You're gonna go far
[03:44.02] You're gonna go far
[03:49.41] You're gonna go far (you're gonna go far)
[03:55.32] Yes, you are (ooh-ooh)
[04:06.19] If you wanna go (if you wanna go) far
[04:11.77] Then you gotta go (then you gotta go) far
[04:23.35] You gotta go far
[04:26.74]
