Hobarts Lyrics

Lay back in the tall grass
Last night I called home
I walked down to the railyard
And the misty great elm
Heaven showed me her mercy
Threw my bag inside
On the old number seven
I watched the sun rise
I hear that bull coming
I pray he takes heed
My visions of mother
Are all that I see
That bull up in Cleveland
Gave me a broke arm
Dear Lord let him spare me
I wish him no harm
My breath full of cinders
The wind blows me cold
The sounds of that freight train
In my body are old
Twenty-three years now
I've not seen my home
Tomorrow is Christmas
And she's all alone
--- Carolina
I'm wishing her back
Across two thousand -- miles
Of standard guage track
One last sip of whiskey
To warm these old bone
We just hit Kentucky
In daylight I'm home

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.
