[Verse 1] April twenty-two, two-thousand-four Boynton Beach wakes up Sarah heads south for Miami John reads the paper at the table Lilith drains the last of breakfast Then the bus rolls by her school [Chorus] Boynton Beach to Miami (ride it out) Boynton Beach to Miami (hold on tight) One road bends, one road breaks And the whole day tips tonight [Verse 2] John leaves Carmen the key money Then north to Palm Tree Security Team briefing in West Palm Beach Four men move on the bank By mid-morning, phones off Radio silence, hard and cold [Pre-Chorus] David’s at the courthouse Trying to beat the clock Roberto’s got the kind of news That makes a whole room stop Sarah picks Lilith up sick from school And turns back up the coast [Chorus] Boynton Beach to Miami (ride it out) Boynton Beach to Miami (hold on tight) One road bends, one road breaks And the whole day tips tonight [Rap Bridge] Seven o’clock, parking structure glow Gunther by the BMW, Diablos in the low Sarah calls out, asks who’s Roberto She’s thinking timing, not the shadows in the row Then hands go fast and the whole place cracks One shot, then more, and there ain’t no take-backs Lilith in the back seat, Town and Country still David on the line like “I may not make the hill” [Chorus] Boynton Beach to Miami (ride it out) Boynton Beach to Miami (hold on tight) One road bends, one road breaks And the whole day tips tonight [Outro] Jackson lights burn white Sarah doesn’t come back On the Turnpike, grief Leaves a long black track (hold on tight)
