Still Lyrics

There's a place I like to go
where I can here the cotton grow
when that train whistle blows
a dozen miles down the road
all I really have to do is just be still

there's the place I love to be
momma daddy my sister & me
first time I ever saw the beach back to 1983
all I really have to do is just be still

when this world gets crazy
and tries to break me
and I had all I can stand
I can close my eyes no matter where I am
and just be still

There's a place that I can see
where my babies next to me
close enough to feel the heat
all wound up beneath the sheets
all I have to do is just be still

When this world gets crazy
and tries to break me
and I had all I can stand
I can close my eyes
no matter where I am
and just be still

There's a place I need to go
Where the stain glass windows flow
every part of me is known
thank god I can go there
thank god I can go there still
thank god I can go there still

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.

The meaning's pretty simple. When life gets crazy he just close his eyes, be "still", thinking about what's important to him. His old memories of his home, his parents and siblings, his wife and kids, and I think the last verse is referring to a church.
