Crooked Down The Road Lyrics

Well, I've got a carved arm and a black tooth
Crippled boot and a broken heart
Stuck out here in Smiley
Oh God, I'm so alone
I will roam hobo
Come crooked down the road

I got an idiot eye and Indian hips
Conhouse lips and a wino's smile
Stuck out here in Youngstown
Killing myself slow
So I'll hitch a rattletrap boat
Come crooked down the road

I got a jacket of smoke and a charcoal lung
Dumb tongue and I'm down-at-the-heels, Joe
Stuck in Stony Mountain
Don't know which way to go
So I'll take the first morning coach
Come crooked down the road

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.
