So Long To The Captain Lyrics

I was
On my way to the captain

So long
Remember the captain

Do we
Recall the way you put me through the door

So long
Rambo to the captain

Stay with me
only til the storm leaves
Stay with me
so many day just sort of slipped away

So long
So long to the captain

Do we
recall the way you put me to the door

Look now it's about to happen
So long to the captain

So long
So long to the captain

Oooohhh

Yeahh
I'm better off lonely
I'm better off lonely
Wheel to captain?

Oh the sounds
smoke jumpin from fingertips
smoke slips through the blue lips
Oh and ?
I'm better off lonely
Oh
I'm better off lonely
I'm better off lonely

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.
