The Strays Lyrics

1,2,3,4!

Hubcaps
And ashtrays
I was born
But I wasn't raise
The big wheel
The black space
I tried my best
But I wasn't praised
Hell is so close to heaven
Hell is so close to heaven
Hold on
Dont look back
You know we're better
We're better than that
Lost and thrown away
You know we're better
We're better than that

We are The Strays
Whoa
We are The Strays

Train Tracks
To the stage
Play that role
The one you made
Lone lights
And worst days
I lived it all
But I didnt break
Hell is so close to heaven
Hell is so close to heaven
Hold on
Dont look back
You know we're better
We're better than that
Lost and thrown away
You know we're better
We're better than that

We are The Strays
Whoa
We are The Strays

My whole life
They said ill be nothing
Well i'm something
And I would rather be a stray
Than be nothing
To no one at all
Hubcaps
And Ashtrays
I was born
But I wasn't raised
Hold on
Dont look back
You know we're better
We're better than that
Lost and thrown away
You know we're better
We're better than that

We are The Strays
Whoa
We are The Strays

You know we're better
We're better than that

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.

WOW!! No one commented?!!! This song is all about being yourself and not caring about what other people have to say because that shouldn't matter. Its better to be yourself then let other people make you some plastic being, you should be happy!
