Silence after a shootout

[Verse 1]

Dear an old friend, I saw them today

The boys that tried to blow me away

I tried to brush it off, tried to let it all go

Tried to keep calm, tried to do like you say

But my hand got that itch and I couldn’t relax

So I pulled out that thing and made them motherfuckers dance

Dance

[Chorus]

And when the window rolled down, six shots couldn’t get me

I promised my momma I’d take all of you with me

You know I said so

When the muzzle flashed fire and the bullets hit the door

I felt like I'd been here before

Oh no, I won’t go

[Post-Chorus]

That silence after a shootout

Is the quietest thing I’ve ever heard

[Verse 2]

Dear an old friend, I called you today

Called from the county on the day I went away

Before you hung up the phone you told me to hold my head

And keep one eye open and we'll sleep when we're dead

Dead

[Chorus]

And when the window rolled down, six shots couldn’t get me

I promised my momma I’d take all of you with me

You know I said so

When the muzzle flashed fire and the bullets hit the door

I felt like I'd been here before

Oh no, I won’t go

[Post-Chorus]

That silence after a shootout

Is the quietest thing I’ve ever heard

I promised my momma I’d take all of you with me

You know I said so

When the muzzle flashed fire and the bullets hit the door

I felt like I'd been here before

Oh no, I won’t go

[Bridge]

Sat in meditation, single point concentration

I'm looking for something, it only comes one way and

Here I go, I’m searching for that silence once again

Silence that’s only achieved by exchanging gunfire amongst men

And you can debate whether this is fiction or it's fact

But anyone who’s been there knows exactly where it's at

[Outro Chorus]

And when the window rolled down, six shots couldn’t get me

I'm sorry, my mamma, I let them motherfuckers hit me

And when the muzzle flashed fire, I squeezed my gun until it locked up

And with God's steady hand we got them motherfuckers boxed up
