Why Did You Put Me On Lyrics

It's a long cold train that my babe,
She put me on
Why did you put me on babe
Why did you put me on
I'm a million miles from nowhere
And I don't know how long I've been gone
Why did you put me on babe
Why did you put me on
I count so many ties baby
Up and down this track
My mind is blowing cold
Sun is turning black
I've forgotten where I've been
I don't believe that I'm ever going back
The blue sky it is dripping into a sea of molten lead
My baby at the station
I remember what she said
There's gonna be a tomorrow daddy
please don't lose your head
Why did you put me on babe
Why did you put me on

Wail it is rising and sinking in my ear
It is growing louder, nobody else can hear
A mad dog's howl, whistle, shriek of the laughing engineer
Why did you put me on babe
Why did you put me on

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.
