When I Ran Off and Left Her Lyrics

When I ran off and left her
She wasn't holding a baby
She was holding a bottle, and a big grudge against me

I tried to talk to the psychiatrist
I tried to stay calm and minimize risk
I shoulda kept all those appointments
I'm gonna need them now, I'm a-coming disjointed

When I ran off and left her
I did not look backwards
Till I was halfway to Chattanooga, on the Atlanta Connector

That's when thought of the things that she did
All the little things, I started to wig
I shoulda kept all those appointments
I'm gonna need 'em now, I'm coming disjointed

I tried to talk to the psychiatrist
I tried to stay calm and minimize risk
I shoulda kept all those appointments
Gonna need them now, I'm a-coming disjointed

I shoulda kept all those appointments
I'm gonna need them now, I'm a-coming disjointed

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.
