The Good Earth Lyrics

You know what the others know
Seven years stay at home
Talk about the old fun
People never listen hard

I can't stay
It's got to be that way
Can't be alone
I guess that you know

Many times I heard you say
Try and last just one more day
Listen to the rain again
Trying hard to understand

I can't stay
It's got to be that way
Can't be alone
I guess that you know

I can't get along
Take me back where I belong
I've been gone too long
Take me back

I can't get along
Take me back to my home
Seven years way too long
Call me up and I'll be gone

I can't stay
It's got to be that way
Can't be alone
I guess that you know

I can't get along
Take me back where I belong
Been gone way too long
Take me back to my home
I can't get along
Got to get back there where I belong
Got to get back baby back to my home
Back to the place where I belong
Can I get back?
O Can I get back?

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.
