Who Is Sarah’s Place About

A month after releasing his eponymous fourth album in 2023—which went to No. 1 on the Billboard 200, Rock, Folk, and Country charts—Zach Bryan shared another batch of songs on Boys of Faith. Featuring collaborations with Bon Iver and Noah Kahan, the five-track EP required Bryan to lock himself in a studio and get all the lyrics out into a notebook.“Locked myself in a studio all week, wrote myself through a notebook,” wrote Bryan of the process on social media. “Walked around with people I love in the city then went camping, felt restful and hopeful, thankful for breathing no matter the day … them boys of faith.”On Boys of Faith, Bon Iver joins Bryan on the more Americana-arched title track, while Noah Kahan helps tell the story of a former lover on the more midtempo “Sarah’s Place.”

“Sarah’s Place”

Co-written by Bryan and Kahan, the wistful lyrics around “Sarah’s Place” partially mourn past relationship and express relief that a former partner is somewhere better now.

Road dogs are built for sleepin’ inI’ve been up since 4 AMAt your worst, you’re better than my better daysThere ain’t been no sun in LASince you moved out of Sarah’s placeI love your mother’s stories ’bout you as a kidI heard you scored a job in the east villageWhile working for some folks who don’t know your nameWell, ain’t you gonna miss all of them wasted days?We’d sit around, drinkin’ out at Sarah’s placeDon’t come back lover, I’m proud you’re under the skylineWe always knew you were the better half of our good timesThose backyard lights don’t shine as bright without your faceOut at Sarah’s Place

By the end of the song, they reconnect by phone as more of the nostalgia sets in—seeing his lover’s empty picnic chair still sitting in the yard.

And you called to talk just last weekI’m still fallin’ apart like I’ll always beAnd your picnic chair is still sittin’ there in the yardAnd I had to sell my old guitarBut don’t come back lover, I’m proud you’re under the skylineWe always knew you were the better half of our good timesThose backyard lights don’t shine as bright without your faceOut at Sarah’s PlaceYou’ll always be a piece of mine, a piece of mineWe drove that road we know at least a million timesI’m so damn tired of seeing that empty driveOut at Sarah’s Place
