Rio Linda Lyrics

Me and sterile darryl the a-man and nicko
Went down to watch the show
Down in san francisco
It got dark and lucy showed up
Oh why oh why oh why did I grow up
New year's eve well I couldn't believe
I watched you growing up
And caught you looking at me
Funny how it made you grit your teeth
Doing what we did the irony
Thanks for driving cuz I couldn't see
But I stayed up all night
I was watching the tv screen
Birthdays at the pizza and pipes
We paid the price for such a sheltered life

(chorus)
But I never lived never ever lived
No I never ever ever lived there
I never lived down in rio linda
Lucy said we could never go home
I never lived down in rio linda
Lucy said we could never ever go home

16 ounce cans we were in deep
Drove my brown champ down
I was just trying to keep it straight
Forgot the lines we made a pact
Drove all the way home
To the repo man sound track
Darryl's gone but that's how it goes
I heard he lost the truth right up his nose
Lucy gone but I'm all right
We paid the price for such a sheltered life

(chorus)

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.
