Tacoma Blues Lyrics

I’m lonely out here baby
I want to come back home
Forget this autumn ocean town
Opportunities tomorrow
This life is good for no one
It tears my heart in two
I want to see you smile
And feel you

I’m standing in the shadows
I’m howling at the sound
Inspiration fails me
Nothing seems to ease me
Sad songs could drive me down
Drive me down
Another day of rain
In another town

These days everything changes
I try to think ahead
But keep looking behind
Another host
Just another stranger
I want to be stronger
You know I want to be stronger

Say your prayers to Jesus
Please say one for me
May He help me do for others
May He set me free
To think of you only
To smile graciously
And not to tell the friendly people
To go away from me

Because I’m lonely out here baby
I want to come back home
Forget this autumn ocean town
Opportunities tomorrow
This life is good for no one
It tears my heart in two
I want to see you smile
And feel you
I want to see you smile
And feel you

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.
