Han Shot First
Verse 1

Dust on the boots and smoke in the air,
Mos Eisley buzzing with a gambler's stare.
Millennium Falcon parked out back,
Got a Wookiee friend and a well-worn track.

Credits are low, trouble's running high,
Every shady dealer's got an alibi.
Then through the crowd came a hunter mean,
Green skin shining with a laser-beam gleam.

Pre-Chorus

The band kept playing, nobody moved,
Two hard cases with something to prove.

Chorus

Han shot first, that's the tale they tell,
Blasters flashed in the old cantina swell.
One quick draw and a thunderburst,
Out on the Rim, Han shot first.
Han shot first, hear the smugglers sing,
From Tatooine to the Outer Rim.
History's debated, but for what it's worth,
Everybody knows Han shot first.

Verse 2

Greedo leaned in with a cold-eyed grin,
Said, "Your luck's run out, you're not leaving again."
Jabba wants payment, the price is due,
And bounty hunters love what credits can do.

Han sat easy, but his eyes stayed sharp,
Like a sabacc player holding one last card.
The room fell silent for a heartbeat's span,
Nobody knew what was already planned.

Pre-Chorus

The band kept playing, drinks stood still,
Tension hanging heavier than a Hutt's will.

Chorus

Han shot first, that's the tale they tell,
Blasters flashed in the old cantina swell.
One quick draw and a thunderburst,
Out on the Rim, Han shot first.
Han shot first, hear the smugglers sing,
From Tatooine to the Outer Rim.
History's debated, but for what it's worth,
Everybody knows Han shot first.

Bridge

Maybe the stories change with time,
Maybe the holovids redraw the lines.
But around the stars where the freighters roam,
Old spacers swear by the tale they've known.

Chewie growls and the Falcon flies,
Jumping to hyperspace under desert skies.
A legend started with a blaster's spark,
One loud flash in a smoky dark.

Final Chorus

Han shot first, let the record spin,
Across the galaxy the argument begins.
Scoundrel, hero, rogue by birth,
Still they're saying Han shot first.
Han shot first, and the crowd concurs,
Through every cantina from here to the Core.
Raise your glasses and sing this verse,
The day that Han shot first.

Outro

In a corner booth where the shadows lurk,
The legend lives and the rumors work.
One green hunter and a smuggler cursed,
And the galaxy remembers:

Han shot first. 🎸🚀
