The Weight Of The Badge |
It’s gonna be a long one another graveyard shift |
As he says goodbye to his wife and kids |
He spends his life just like his dad’s |
Driving away under the weight of the badge |
He’s seen it all in his fifteen years |
Watching our backs, facing our fears |
Lord knows it ain’t no easy task |
Keeping us safe under the weight of the badge |
He swore that oath to protect and serve |
Pours his heart and soul into both those words |
Lays his life on the line |
The line he walks is razor fine |
Tempered strength is always tough |
But he ain’t gonna buckle |
Under the weight of the badge |
Not that long ago he woke up in the hospital |
With his wife and kids praying by his bed |
He said «I'm gonna be alright, there’s just sometimes you gotta fight» |
And the truth is nothing truer could be said |
I do it for us and I do it for them |
And I ain’t gonna buckle under the weight of the badge |
It doesn’t weigh a lot until you put it on |
And the weight of it is staggering |
Then duty calls each time |
He knows he’s got to answer |
And it’s all in the hand of |
The heavy weight of the badge |
And he ain’t gonna buckle |
Under the weight of the badge |
No he ain’t gonna buckle |
Under the weight of the badge |
