Southpaw Lyrics

one eye open baby
both hands tied behind my back
surprise acomin in a cross street smile
how so the changes have come slow
takers drivin got to take the wheel
we got their lives ahanging & their souls to steal
give me a break [give me an arm] wishbone cracky good luck charm
rave on monkey
come on down little sister
what might be right for goose might not be right for the gander
YOU got on the mississippi mudslide
get up on the tchoupitoulis southpaw
YOU got to lie now chillun
you got to lie to be willin
o my soul it's time to awake
come on down give the kingdom a shake
& o my soul it's time to get down

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.

WOW no comments to this one yet? This is absolutely one of the GEMS on Up in it. As to it's meaning, definitely up in the air if you break down the lyrics.

However, who can argue with:

give me a break [give me an arm] wishbone cracky good luck charm

rave on monkey

come on down little sister

what might be right for goose might not be right for the gander

Amazing right there.
