Side Of The Road Lyrics

I pulled over to the side of the road
I was feelin' kinda sad, I was feelin' kinda blue
Walked across this farmer's field
And I looked up to the blue-white sky

And your eyes, they were in my mind
And I just wanna hold on to you yeah
Your eyes, they were in my mind
And I just wanna hold on to you
Gonna hold on to you
I'm gonna hold on...

Started singing this song in my head
Just because the sun was high, shining bright
And I could smell the fresh-cut grass
As I looked up to the blue-white sky

And your eyes, they were in my mind
And I just wanna hold on to you yeah
Your eyes, they were in my mind
And I just wanna hold on to you
Gonna hold on to you

Walked across this farmer's field
And I looked up into the blue-white sky
Started singing this song in my head
Just because the sun, the sun was high

And your eyes, they were in my mind
And I just wanna hold on to you yeah
Your eyes, they were in my mind
And I just wanna hold on to you
Gonna hold on to you
I'm gonna hold on...

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.
