Bang Bang
Whit Whitman
Lyrics
Verse 1We pulled in from work, long day on our backs,
heat in the air and the sky was going black.
Then I heard something loud out in the street,
Adrenaline hit and made my heart beat
Thought it was gunshots lighting up my block,
so I hit the gas and we killed the talk.
Pre-Chorus
Pulled in the garage, hoping not to die
hit the door button and tried not to cry.
Chorus
She said, “Baby, what the hell are you doing?”
I said, “Hold on, the danger’s brewing!”
But it wasn’t a threat, no shooter at large
just fireworks popping while I trapped us in the garage.
Verse 2
She stared at me hard in the dashboard light,
like I’d lost my mind somewhere that night.
I whispered, “Shhh,” like we were in a movie,
But nothing outside was actually spooky.
She said, “It’s July, you paranoid fool,”
I sat there sweating like I didn't know what to do.
Pre-Chorus 2
I meant to protect us, I swear on my heart,
Sitting in our garage, traped in our locked car
Chorus
She said, “Baby, what the hell are you doing?”
I said, “Hold on, the danger’s brewing!”
But it wasn’t a threat, no shooter at large
just fireworks popping while I trapped us in the garage.
Bridge
When the silence hit, and the noise died down,
I realized I’d panicked like a big ass clown.
She laughed so hard she forgot to be mad,
said, “You’re the safest man that I’ve ever had.”
Final Chorus
She said, “Baby, what the hell are you doing?”
I said, “Hold on, the danger’s brewing!”
But it wasn’t a threat, no shooter at large
just fireworks popping while I trapped us in the garage.
