Road To Salinas Lyrics

Being afraid can be o.k. if you're willing to let things go
Take the the time and try to find and learn what you don't know
I dont know why I got behind the wheel
Sun's in the sky and i was...

On the road to Salinas
Down the road I thought could free us
Ordinary dreams would go
But I would always get back home

Take the time and try to find the boy inside my brain
Saw him way out on a limb and he was trying to get away
I don't know why I feel the way I feel
Sun's in the sky and I was...

On the road to Salinas
Down the road I thought could free us
Ordinary dreams would go
But I would always get back home

See myself in someone else and I just don't know why
When I lay my head to sleep I lay awake and cry
I dont know why I got behind the wheel
Sun's in the sky and i was...

On the road to Salinas
Down the road I thought could free us
Ordinary dreams would go
But I would always get back home

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.
