Greyhound Girl Lyrics

Each time we come here
I see we'll never come here again
Each time we make love
I say we'll never make love again
But, my little greyhound girl
You got me running, down the flat
But, my little greyhound girl
I'm in your dreams

Each time we ride out
I say we'll never ride out again
And, when we kiss
I say we'll never, never kiss again
But, my little greyhound girl
You got me running down the flat
My little greyhound girl
I'm in your dreams

I'm looking for reasons
I'm looking for reasons

But there ain't a why or a where
For to live around my little greyhound girl
You've got me running, down the flat
My little greyhound girl
I'm in your track

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.

Great song and Pete's acoustic is so jazzy, flemenco style strokes that accentuate the beautiful lyrics. You got me running down the flat...
