The Man From Uvalde Songtext
von Vincent Neil Emerson

I heard the bullets fly
Teachers and children cry
Police just standin′ by
Well it makes you wonder why
Oh Lord, what have they done?
I think they killed my son
I'd never hurt no man
But I′d strangle every one

And the man from Uvalde
Has been livin' on the run
In the valley of the gun
He's a hidin′ from the sun


I heard the news man sway
They wanna take your guns away
So scared of what they say
Livin′ in the USA
You fly a blacked out rag
Deface the American Flag
Ain't freedom such a drag
When they try and change the rules

And the man from Uvalde
Has been livin′ on the run
In the valley of the gun
He's a hidin′ from the sun

But it just now make no sense
Hung up on self-defense
Easier than a driver's test
And the ammunition′s cheap
I don't trust no talkin' head
I don′t care if you′re blue or red
I just wanna keep my child
From dyin' at his desk


And the man from Uvalde
Has been livin′ on the run
In the valley of the gun
He's a hidin′ from the sun
Yeah, the man from Uvalde
Has been livin' on the run
In the valley of the gun
He′s a hidin' from the sun
