Jason Hanna/Getty Images(Chorus)Hey Travis, it’s time, the Chiefs are in the zone, Jets and Chiefs, we’re gonna hear the thunder’s groan, Underneath those stadium lights, we’ll make memories tonight, Taylor and Travis, together, we’re gonna take flight. Jason Hanna/Getty Images (Verse 2)From the Garden State to Arrowhead’s call, We’re in this together, giving it our all, You’re the King of the End Zone, the captain of the night, I’ll be cheering in the stands, as you take your flight. Jason Hanna/Getty Images (Chorus)Hey Travis, it’s time, the Chiefs are in the zone, Jets and Chiefs, we’re gonna hear the thunder’s groan, Underneath those stadium lights, we’ll make memories tonight, Taylor and Travis, together, we’re gonna take flight. Jason Hanna/Getty Images (Bridge)And as the crowd roars loud, like a hurricane’s embrace, We’ll dance to the rhythm, in this special place, In New Jersey’s heart, we’ll create our own song, In this football love story, where we both belong. Jason Hanna/Getty Images (Verse 3)The game’s heating up, the clock’s running down, But I’ll stand by your side, in your Kansas City crown, In the roar of the crowd, in the cool autumn air, We’ll make magic happen, I know you’ll be there. Jason Hanna/Getty Images (Chorus)Hey Travis, it’s time, the Chiefs are in the zone, Jets and Chiefs, we’re gonna hear the thunder’s groan, Underneath those stadium lights, we’ll make memories tonight, Taylor and Travis, together, we’re gonna take flight. Mike Coppola/Getty Images for MTV (Outro)So here’s to this night, and the memories we’ll make, In New Jersey’s embrace, our love won’t break, With the Chiefs and the Jets, and you by my side, Underneath those stadium lights, forever we’ll ride.
