Crawl Back to You Lyrics

[Verse 1:]
Sittin' in a barroom countin’ my dough
Runnin' out of money and places to go
Sittin' in a barroom drunk at night
Won’t get to sleep till the first daylight

[Chorus:]
Baby, can I crawl back to you?
Baby, can I crawl back to you?

[Verse 2:]
Goin to the bus station nothin' in my hand
Gonna buy a ticket goin' to the promised land
I oughta be arrivin' in a day or two
The bus might leave me, can I come back to you?

[Chorus:]
Baby, can I crawl back to you?
Baby, can I crawl back to you?

[Verse 3:]
Sittin' in a jailhouse countin’ my dough
Ran out of money but I got a place to go
I oughta be leavin' in a day or two
Get myself together, can I come back to you?

[Chorus:]
Baby, can I crawl back to you?
Baby, can I crawl back to you?

[Verse 4:]
Got me some insurance, paid another prem
Jump in a river and I might learn to swim
Might learn to swim but I just might drown
I got that insurance paid plumb down

[Chorus:]
Turn it all over to you
Baby, can I crawl back to you?
Turn it all over to you
Baby, can I crawl back to 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.
