Someone blew a tire Sparks flew in the grass The Oklahoma wind And the flames grew fast I smelled the breath of hell Death was all that I could taste There were kids and horses screaming But God still heard me pray Just when I thought there was no way We’d make it out alive I saw kinfolk and pick-up trucks Rollin’ up the drive Neighbors and strangers To put their lives in danger Lord I hate to think what might have been If not for friends It burned 2,000 acres Trying to get us But those Oklahoma hearts Built a wall of love Fire trucks and first responders Came from miles around Faith in God and Okies Shut that fire down Just when I thought there was no way We’d make it out alive I saw kinfolk and pick-up trucks Rollin’ up the drive Some of them were neighbors Most of them were strangers Who thought enough of someone else To put their lives in danger Lord I hate to think what might have been If not for friends Those unsung heroes Will never know what all they saved The livestock and family And this home where I was raised I’ll be forever grateful I’d repay them if I could The grass will grow back And people are still good
