Racing Stripes Lyrics

[Verse]
Come and see you tonight
Come and see you tonight
Come and see the cars and the tungsten lights
We'll go in fast and bitter
And leave those thoughts that they know nothing about
Come and see you tonight
Come and see you tonight
Come and see the stars and their racing stripes
And run to class in glitter
You'll sing a song that you know nothing about

[Bridge]
Oh
Oh, nothing about
Nothin', nothin'
Nothin', nothin'
Nothin', nothin'

[Chorus]
This light'll keep me going
This light'll keep me going
And I don't even know wherever I may go
This light'll keep me going
This light'll keep me going
And I don't even know wherever I may go
This light'll keep me going
This light'll keep me going
And I don't even know wherever I may go
This light'll keep me going
This light'll keep me going
And I don't even know wherever I may go
And I don't even know wherever I may go
This light'll keep me going
This light'll keep me going
And I don't even know wherever I may go
This light'll keep me going
This light'll keep me going
And I don't even know wherever I may go
This light'll keep me going
This light'll keep me going
And I don't even know wherever I may go
This light'll keep me going
This light'll keep me going

Always Like This

What If?

Shuffle

Lights Out, Words Gone

Already Know

[Verse]
Come and see you tonight
Come and see you tonight
Come and see the cars and the tungsten lights
We'll go in fast and bitter
And leave those thoughts that they know nothing about
Come and see you tonight
Come and see you tonight
Come and see the stars and their racing stripes
And run to class in glitter
You'll sing a song that you know nothing about

[Bridge]
Oh
Oh, nothing about
Nothin', nothin'
Nothin', nothin'
Nothin', nothin'

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.
