Ash In The Valley

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Used to be a dry spell story Now the whole year bite back Hotter springs, longer droughts Brush turns black in a flash One spark in the wrong lane A downed line, a truck, a match Wind grabs it, feeds it fast Now the wall of flame moves [Pre-Chorus] From hills to canyons From west to inland ground Smoke don’t need a border It drifts and spreads around [Chorus] Ash in the valley Ash in the valley Run from the heat, stay low Ash in the valley Ash in the valley Get out while you still can [Verse 2] People tried to leave quick But the roads got jammed up Some lost time to the smoke Some lost breath in the rush Some got caught by collapsing roofs Some got trapped on the drive Some never made the last turn out Still, they were trying to survive [Pre-Chorus] Close that door now Wet cloth at the seam Know the exits early Keep your phone on screen [Chorus] Ash in the valley Ash in the valley Run from the heat, stay low Ash in the valley Ash in the valley Get out while you still can [Verse 3] Stay packed with the basics Water, meds, and shoes Charge up the power bank Keep your mask in view If the air turns thick Go clean room, go inside Move away from the flames And stay where you can hide Future looks meaner If the land stays dry But we learn fast, move smart And keep each other alive [Bridge] They keep asking why It’s the heat and the drought Bad land use, big winds And a world burning out Still one plan saves lives Listen, leave, and go Don’t wait for the sky When the sirens say blow [Chorus] Ash in the valley Ash in the valley Run from the heat, stay low Ash in the valley Ash in the valley Get out while you still can
