One Horse Town Lyrics

Yeah, you're burning
Oh, you're burning
My ears with your travelling tales
But my in-laws
Oh baby, my in-laws
Well they're trying to tie a young man down

Oh, I never should have settled down
Hanging around in a one horse town
When everyone starts sleeping around
Well I never should have settled down
Hanging around in a one horse town
When everyone starts sleeping around

But this feeling
Oh, that I'm feeling
Well you're praying at her, tear her heart
So this evening
Oh, baby I'm leaving
On a one way ticket tonight

Well I never should have settled down
Hanging around in a one horse town
When everyone starts sleeping around
Well I never should have settled down
Hanging around in a one horse town
When everyone starts sleeping around

Well my friends they don't go settled down
Hanging around in a one horse town
When everyone starts sleeping around
Guess I never should have settled down
You see, hanging around in a one horse town
Does nothing for your state of mind

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.
