It Starts With Dean Moriaty Lyrics

I should have never got this far
I'm nothing but a bad example
I'm thinking of the college life away from these distractions

Then I could get a real job
And maybe then I'd please my parents
I'm sitting on a diamond mine unmapped and unexcavated

This is a bad sign
I'm believing my own lie
All the money is gone and now there's noone left to bail me out

I should have never got this far
I'm nothing but a bad example
I'm thinking of the college life away from these distractions

But I don't want to sound defeatist
In truth I've never felt so good about this
Only it's a family flaw to be overtly pessimistic

This is a bad sign
I'm believing my own lie
All the money is gone and now there's noone left to bail me out

So take it from me
That these things will work themselves out in the end
Can't just say that you do it to yourself

This is a bad sign
I'm believing my own lie
All the money is gone and now there's noone left to bail me out

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.
