Barely Losing Lyrics

Three day vacation three days away
The turd club race book and I'm barely losing
While you're sitting next to me laughing and
I'm barely losing

Souvenirs we are buying t-shirts and snow globes
We're getting our pictures taken underneath the sign
Lounge bands we are watching while playing video poker
46 ounce margaritas we are drinking
We're having dinner at the Santa Fe and
We're walking underneath lights and
We're staying on the seventh floor of the Fitzgerald
We're walking along the railroad tracks
At five in the morning
Wishing we could always be like this
That we'll never have to go back

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.
