Seems to me that "Maintain runway heading until advised" would fit the bill
in this situation.

If you maintain that heading and there's any crosswind, you will not track the
extended centerline. When we brought my Maule back from the factory, we departed from
a nearby controlled field. We were told to maintain runway heading. The controller
explained to us that he had a corporate jet leaving right after us, and maintaining
this heading would cause us to drift to the right and get out of the way of the jet.

In Tennessee, it's evangelism.
