Manteo Lyrics

Chesapeake, I could barely speak
When I said my first goodbye
My angel, she had frozen feet
The day that I arrived
Take your chances hustlin'
Or work a nine to five
If we don't get busted
Hope we make it out alive
Manteo, you got me tonight
Pluck a feather, clip a wing
You'll forget that it hurts
I used to keep my nose clean
But now I just sleep in the dirt
And I've got my coat of colors
I war it very nice
I know you get what you pay for
I never even thought twice
Manteo, you got me tonight

Chesapeake, I could barely speak
When I said my first goodbye
My angel, she had frozen feet
The day that I arrived
So we took our chances
Bustin' out pinata valentine
You had a boy you trusted
And I had a heart full of lies
Manteo, this is goodbye

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.
