Goodbye Temecula Lyrics

sixteen years with you
nothing i'd rather do
than see your ashes hit the ground
put me inside a box
and hope i never find the lock
we're both amazed i'm still around

convince them all that it's their fate
convince them all that it's too late
convince them they're not special
isn't that just fucking great

goodbye temecula
i hope you burn while i'm away
you left me dirty someplace i can't even see
and that will never wash away

a tradition of hate
i guess i'm just too late
i'll watch it happen once again
your fortress cannot last
one day i'll find a match
and i'll ignite that flame again

drain me of everything you can
drain me then laugh as i can't stand
drain me then burn in hell
as soon as i find that gas can

sick of this one horse town
we'll burn it to the ground
children with torches march around
and i can almost hear the sound

goodbye temecula

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.

Just wanted to mention that Temecula is the (obviously small) town the guys of Third Try are from. The lyrics themselves are pretty self-explanatory, I guess.
