10:47 PM… Uvalde, Texas… Sky turnin’ green, sirens in the distance… And then— BOOM. ⸻ I was chillin’ in my room and I heard a big boom Suddenly surrounded by fumes, didn’t know what to do ’Cause I knew I was screwed The window blew, glass flew, caused wounds But I knew what I had to do I was chillin’ in my room and I heard a big boom Whole town lit up underneath that moon Yeah I knew I was screwed Ash in the air, sky turned maroon So I grabbed my crew and we moved ⸻ Stepped outside, ground shakin’ like drums Clouds part ways and here he comes Massive silhouette blockin’ out the stars Tail swing wide tearin’ up cars Godzilla stompin’ down Main Street Every footstep earthquake beat Water tower cracked — leanin’ sideways One more hit and it crashed in waves H-E-B? Gone in a blink Concrete dust where we used to shop drinks Hundreds in the water panic, screaming River lit up from the skyline gleaming This ain’t a movie, this ain’t pretend This the kinda night that don’t ever end ⸻ Smoke rollin’ in like a tidal wave Sirens echo, no one safe Phone lines dead, no time to pray He turnin’ midnight into doomsday ⸻ I was chillin’ in my room and I heard a big boom Suddenly surrounded by fumes, didn’t know what to do ’Cause I knew I was screwed The window blew, glass flew, caused wounds But I knew what I had to do ⸻ Carlos yellin’, “Get the keys!” Chesney already startin’ the Jeep Engine roarin’, tires screech Dust trail burnin’ up the street We forgot there’s a game tonight Honey Bowl packed under Friday lights Damn… too late, he already there Shadow coverin’ the bleachers in the air Fire blast lit up the sky Field glowin’ red as we drove by Scoreboard flicker, helmets scattered Whole hometown shaken and shattered We cut through backroads, pedal smashed Rearview mirror — stadium ash Heartbeat sync with the bassline drop Every stomp feel like the world might stop ⸻ RUN! RUN! RUN! DON’T LOOK BACK! TAIL SWING WIDE — WHOLE SKY CRACK! UVALDE STAND — WE DON’T FALL FLAT! WHEN THE SMOKE CLEAR, WE BUILD IT BACK! ⸻ From the river to the highway lights Ash fallin’ down like snow at night He can wreck these streets apart But he can’t destroy a Texas heart ⸻ I was chillin’ in my room and I heard a big boom Suddenly surrounded by fumes, didn’t know what to do Yeah I knew I was screwed But I grabbed my crew and we pushed on through ’Cause that’s what we do Window blew, glass flew Town shook but we broke through He can tear down every roof But he can’t tear down the truth
