Backstop Ballad Lyrics

don’t trip on your back step
just ride the sunset west

don’t trip on your back step, mama
just ride the sunset west

but don’t say you love me
don’t say you love me
don’t say you love me
say you want me now
want me now

don’t trip on your back step
just be with me and sin

don’t trip on your back step, mama,
just be with me and sin

but don’t say you love me
don’t say you love me
don’t say you love me
say you want me now
want me now

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 tried my best to interpret these lyrics as i heard them, if i've got anything wrong, i apologize!

personally, this is my second favorite diablo dimes song, it's so sad and lonesome sounding, and the melodies are very catchy and soothing.
