I Remember the Railroad Lyrics

I see the travelers comin'
I watch them rollin' down the line
I see the transits movin'
I remember the railroad line.

I see some smilin' faces
Common place like they've peace of mind.
So many different places
I remember there's more than one kind.

From a place that I can call my home
Down the road that I must call my own
I see no easy way
(But) Today I've got to say
I don't mind seeing what I'm being shown

So I see the jet planes flying
I watch them out of sight
I keep on what I'm tryin'
Hoping that time will treat me right
I remember the railroad line.

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.
