Painting Nebraska Lyrics

we painted a perfect picture
together we sang our song 87
miles long do you have some
kindness for me? remembering
the something i heard it
hurts when actions speak
louder than do you have something
for me a painting of nebraska
afraid as our hearts pray for
another day and a day
away did i miss some signs
for me a hug or a kiss or a
painting of nebraska it helps
me remember the time its all i
have left the memory is all i
have left tearful eyes for someone
i left the memory is all i have
left to call mine a painting
the lights are off the book is
closed and everyone who
noticed knows what was so
wrong with me that you left as
i slept silently.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
