I Thought By Now Lyrics

I hear them building casinos
A few miles from my own house
I think I'll take all my money
And see if I can figure it out

So I sold my guitar
It's no use to me
If I can't be a star
Well I will be the next best thing

I thought by now
That I would be a king and you'd be my queen

I thought by now
The world would have started to notice me

Maybe I'll join the navy
Get send to attack
Why would I fight for a country
That doesn't even have my back

So I sold my car
It's no use to me
Wherever you go
There you are and you run with me

I thought by now
That I would be a king and you'd be my queen

I thought by now
The world would have started to notice me

I thought by now
That I would be a king and you'd be my queen

I thought by now
The world would have started to notice me

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.
