The Road Lyrics

You packed your books last night, you break with the past tonight.
I hope you find some beach house on the coast out there with plenty of light.
Cause I know the road is very long
But in my head I'll always hold your song
And I'll keep a good thought for you.
I'll keep a good thought for you.

You left us "The Best of Frank" and on the back you signed your name.
"One For My Baby" was underlined again.
Now I know the road is very long
But in my head I'll always hold your song,
And I'll keep a good thought for you
If you're lonely think of me.
I'll keep a good thought for you
If you're lonely think of me.

There's a couple you knew quite well, they moved away last Spring,
And though he can't find suits they don't miss much of anything.
They're raising a baby now.
At least that's one gift that this world allows.
And I'll keep a good thought for you,
I'll keep a good thought for you.
Cause I know the road is very long
But in my head I'll always hold your song,
And I'll keep a good thought for you
If you're lonely think of me.

I Didn't Know I Was Looking For Love

You left us "The Best of Frank" and on the back you signed your name.
"One For My Baby" was underlined again.
Now I know the road is very long
But in my head I'll always hold your song,
And I'll keep a good thought for you  
If you're lonely think of me.
I'll keep a good thought for you 
If you're lonely think of me.

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.
