The song’s lyrics reference barren grocery store shelves and out-of-stock toilet paper after stampedes of shoppers before lamenting on quarantine life.
“Quarantine, quarantine / drinking whiskey like vaccine / waving at the neighbors / social distancing,” Best and Montana sing together. “Quarantine, quarantine / wearing Lysol like sunscreen / quarantine, quarantine / oh, lonesome quarantine.”
The song goes on to refer to hunting and guns, and also issues a message of thanks to healthcare workers fighting coronavirus,
The video features other notable veterans such as Eddie Gallagher, Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer, Nick Palmisciano, Omar “Crispy” Avila, Eli “Doubletap” Cuevas, Robert “LunkersTv” Terkla, and Cody “Donut Operator” Garrett.
