"Tonight they're shutting down the borders and they boarded up the schools/ Small towns are rolling up their sidewalks, one last paycheck coming through/ I know you're feeling kind of nervous. We're all a little bit confused/ Nothing's the same, this ain't a game. We got to make it through," Jovi sang.

The singer and guitarist said he wanted fans to give him lyrics that describe what they're going through during the pandemic.

"Tell me how you're feeling. Tell me if you're hurting. Talk about that high school graduation that's gonna be canceled. Talk about that prom you might just not have. Talk about that baby coming, that there's nothing you can do about that. Talk about the paycheck that you're losing," he said.
