Locomotive Lyrics

I'm like a locomotive, I don't run out of steam
I'm headed toward the reservoir and I'm gonna need a drink

I ain't no Napa Valley, New York City seems okay
Oh, but I'm a little bit more Tennessee, with whiskey in my veins

'Cause I'm sweet tea sippin' on my front porch sittin'
While my hubby fries chicken and I'm pickin' these strings
I've been down on my luck but I ain't givin' up
Well, I totaled his truck but he loves me just the same
Ooh, he gives me wings, ooh, he gives me wings

I ain't no grand piano, I play a little out of tune
I spent all of my glory days in a honky-tonk saloon

'Cause I'm sweet tea sippin' on my front porch sittin'
While my hubby fries chicken and I'm pickin' these strings
I've been down on my luck but I ain't givin' up
Well, I totaled his truck but he loves me just the same
Ooh, he gives me wings, ooh, he gives me wings

I've been down on my luck but I ain't givin' up
Got a heart like a truck, I'm a hummingbird ready to sing
Ooh, he gives me wings, ooh, he gives me wings
Ooh, he gives me wings

Gunpowder and Lead

I'm like a locomotive, I don't run out of steam
I'm headed toward the reservoir and I'm gonna need a drink

I ain't no Napa Valley, New York City seems okay
Oh, but I'm a little bit more Tennessee, with whiskey in my veins

'Cause I'm sweet tea sippin' on my front porch sittin'
While my hubby fries chicken and I'm pickin' these strings
I've been down on my luck but I ain't givin' up
Well, I totaled his truck but he loves me just the same
Ooh, he gives me wings, ooh, he gives me wings

I ain't no grand piano, I play a little out of tune
I spent all of my glory days in a honky-tonk saloon

'Cause I'm sweet tea sippin' on my front porch sittin'
While my hubby fries chicken and I'm pickin' these strings
I've been down on my luck but I ain't givin' up
Well, I totaled his truck but he loves me just the same
Ooh, he gives me wings, ooh, he gives me wings

I've been down on my luck but I ain't givin' up
Got a heart like a truck, I'm a hummingbird ready to sing 
Ooh, he gives me wings, ooh, he gives me wings
Ooh, he gives me wings

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.
