Volvo In G Lyrics

I want my old seventy-four volvo
With cracked exhaust made a fault
I think I left myself in the trunk

Windows rolled down
Driving her around
And listening to Metallica
I think I left myself in the trunk

First car I've ever bought
I sure stared at it a lot
Then I sold it like an idiot
I think I left myself in the trunk
I think I left myself in the trunk

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.

ahhh the regret of selling that car that you loved so much. Jason Lytles voice that can make things sound so brilliantly depressing. It's wonderful.

"With cracked exhaust made a fault" is actually "With a cracked exhaust manifold"
