"Happy Mother's Day"

Happy Mother's Day from Okaloosa County
Happy Mother's Day from Okaloosa County

Roger Fortson took five in the chest
Just as soon as he opened his door
He wasn't under arrest
And we'd all like to ask him
What the hell happened
But he ain't here anymore
But they caught it on camera
This ain't Fallujah, this is Florida
It ain't Black Hawk Down
It's just Karen complain'
'Cause his voice sounded brown
And now the airman's dead
We hope you're all happy

Happy Mother's Day from Okaloosa County
Happy Mother's Day from Okaloosa County

Here lies the future
It's in an urn
Cause of some good ol' boy at the station
And a Karen's concern
Here lies your future
A .45 that dodged the law
Protected and served
Until he ain't here at all
Here lies your future
Cause of some nosy neighbor
Tryna be a hero
Well they killed you black stranger
Now the good kid's dead
We hope you're all happy

Happy Mother's Day from Okaloosa County
Happy Mother's Day from Okaloosa County

And the Okaloosa sheriff's gonna hide in the weeds
Of chaos and information
No one asked for our needs
And now the airman's dead
We hope you're all happy

Happy Mother's Day from Okaloosa County
Happy Mother's Day from Okaloosa County
Alright
