what happens on the road always comes home Lyrics

We all know why you are still hanging on to this.Eitehr to Run away from your family or to be something you can no longer be. I think maybe time has caught up with you and it's time to get your priorities straight. And to take what you've learned and pass it down. And those old men, they lied to us. What happens on the road always comes home, and if it didn't, then there is no point other than narrowly avoiding divorce three or so times a year. With no life lived to show for it. Sometimes, I want to live again, just like the kids I traveled with. Oh, so much more to do, so much more to see. But, I think maybe time has caught up with me. You see, when her eyes light up, it all seems so trivial to ever leave again. I will never leave again.

while the jackass operation spins its wheels

counting murders, drinking beers (the $46,000 escape)

harvest of maturity

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.

this song means my ass is soft. coalesce owns you all. whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! it's hard to believe the drummer for them is the keyboarist in the get up kids and 'reggie'. sean on "something i'm not" is the greatest.

isn't it funny to see somebody from a band as kick-your-ass tough as coalesce write a song about how he's giving up being in a band because he wants to be with his wife? aw, how sweet. no, really, i think this song rocks, and i respect sean for actually not trying to front as another tuffer-than-you hardcore pony boy. to all the people who think that songs have to be pissed off fight anthems, wave a finger high in the air to show you what we feel about that notion

I think this song is about the infamous attacks made on ingram and his family, and how he hates that these things are effecting his family life. Truly great band.

God, for such a popular band, it sure is hard to get a hold of their shit. I have my friend to thank just for letting me borrow "Revolution..."

This song is kick ass. I don't know enough about their history to make any assumptions. I do know their from my home town KCMO, though so that's cool.
