Hitched Lyrics

Don't you leave me here
Don't you leave me here
Get my name stitched on your lips so you won't get hitched

Get back, get by
Get a room, give me 105
Don't lie, don't care
Don't answer if you call me there

Don't you leave me here
Don't you leave me here
Get my name stitched on your lips so you won't get hitched.

Lay down by the road
Black rocks and a can of holes
Gone four, gone five
Sweating, cussing on the mean side

Don't you leave me here
Don't you leave me here
Get my name stitched on your lips so you won't get
Get my name stitched on your lips so you won't get
Hitched

Keep, keep on your mean side (x4)
Get my name stitched on your lips so you won't get
Hitched

Sit tight, getting by
Got a room, got my 10-5
Say it son, get gone
Smiling, all like a dead-eyed dog

Don't you leave me here (x2)
Get my name stitched on your lips so you won't get (x2)
Hitched

Get my name stitched on your lips so you won't get (x2)
Hitched

Keep, keep on your mean side (x8)

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.

I think the narrator wants her partner to be some one else, overall someone loyal cos inside she's scared he'll leave her. So she tries to control him, but when he does change, he irritates her and she wants him to keep on his mean side, maybe so that he can be more interesting.

I feel like this song is about a woman having an affair with a married man. She seems upset that he always leaves her, and it explains why they get a hotel room (give me a room, give me 105). The way she says "hitched" at the end of "Get my name stitched on your lips so you won't get hitched" almost makes it sound like it was too late and she's bitter about it or something.
