that Uvalde, Texas Tuesday

well, i didn't know the exact way to hell

so followed a guy in his black pick-up truck

who kept ringing his own alarm bell

heard he was headed to Texas for a double shot of whiskey

something not to be missed

said he was gonna do a week of heavy drinking

'cause he was mighty pissed

yeah, his grandmother was gonna take away his guns

and he wouldn't be ruled

so he was headed to Robb elementary

down along the border

'cause he wanted to be re-schooled

and let me tell you it was a hell of a ride

all the way to madness with a double shot of whiskey by my side

speed limits were posted and the best beer was ice cold

but his rampage was just beginning and he wouldn't be controlled

there was no knock on the door when he led himself inside

and on that Uvalde, Texas Tuesday 

children came in from play

just before they died:
