[Verse 1] You texted, “Meet me by the old field gate” I’m two blocks out and I’m running late Your red bike’s leaned by the sycamore tree You wave that grin like you’ve been waiting on me We cut through the lot where the school band plays Past chalk-drawn planets and a lost glove maze You say your big plan’s to leave this town I say, “Save me a seat when you make it out” [Chorus] Go, go, wherever you’re headed Take that little map, let the road get messy I’ll be right here when the dust comes down Same old friend in the same small town Go, go, don’t wait for permission We’ve got bright ideas and a brave ambition If you get too far and the world feels wide You can call my name, I’ll be on your side [Verse 2] You’ve got a notebook full of half-made plans A bus pass folded in your jacket band I’ve got a jar with the coins we saved For one-way tickets and a diner plate Your mom leans out, says, “You boys be smart” You laugh and tap that map against your heart The afternoon rolls like a ball downhill And for a few more blocks, we can hold it still [Chorus] Go, go, wherever you’re headed Take that little map, let the road get messy I’ll be right here when the dust comes down Same old friend in the same small town Go, go, don’t wait for permission We’ve got bright ideas and a brave ambition If you get too far and the world feels wide You can call my name, I’ll be on your side [Bridge] When the bus door folds and the engine turns Keep the ticket stub, keep the lessons learned Every mile you take, every door you find There’s a piece of home riding close behind [Final Chorus] Go, go, wherever you’re headed Take that little map, let the road get messy I’ll be right here when the dust comes down Same old friend in the same small town Go, go, let the whole thing happen Build your life from the scraps you’re packing If you get too far and the world feels wide You can call my name, I’ll be on your side [Outro] On your side, on your side You can call my name, I’ll be on your side
