DFW Lyrics

I was at DFW, I had to call you
I had to say goodbye to my baby today
Reminded of the days abode to save the air force base
Well boo, you are a star, you always are
You are so full of grace
And we ain't spoken in so so long, but I think about you everyday
It's been a hard living, 'cuz you never know
When you be lifted from the gift of living
I try to keep it hidden, but the tears burn down my face
She came to me from heaven, but right now I gotta put her on a 727
I promised it'd be different, but it makes me lie today

If all we have is a story to pass and a memory to embrace
And all of this, I had to say goodbye to my baby today
I had to say bye bye to my baby (x2)
Had to say bye bye, goodbye, goodbye to my baby today

I had to say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye to my baby today (x4)

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.

@relaxthemost Shepherd Air Force Base in Wichita Falls Texas. The airport you would use to leave there would be Dallas-Fort Worth....or DFW as it's known.

These lyrics are terribly wrong.

Reminded of the days abode to save the air force base should be:

Reminded me of the days of old at Shepherd Air Force Base
