Guitars and Gasoline Lyrics

I've been running my whole life
From the idea that we all live to die
Have I had it wrong
Living like the weak for the strong

I just want to drive
Get away, Feel alive
I don't want to face my problems anymore

I've been posing my whole life
For the critics, for the cynics, for the wise
Have I had it wrong
Living like the weak for the strong

I just want to drive
Get away, Feel alive
I don't want to face my problems anymore

Take this gasoline and burn the whole scene
When it comes around don't you scream
I just want to cut clean
From the man who doesn't breathe

I just want to drive
Get away, Feel alive
I don't want to face mine anymore

I just want to drive
Get away, Feel alive
I don't want to face my problems anymore

Anymore...

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.
