Officer Down

[Verse 1]

Red and blue lights cover 75 like a train

Miles of cars, full of people with nothing to say

The sun's out, you'd think that it's just another November day

Oh and I can't help but be mad, knowing I'll leave and you're gonna stay

[Chorus]

They called me on the cell phone

Telling me there's an officer down

And we prayed for a miracle, but you didn't come back around

I've kissed you goodbye a thousand times

But never like I'm doing right now

Oh with twenty-one shots going up for the officer down

[Verse 2]

I begged you to throw out that t-shirt that I sleep in now

And badge number 457 is all over town

People keep asking if there's anything they can do

But no one can give me back you

[Chorus]

They called me on the cell phone

Telling me there's an officer down

And we prayed for a miracle, but you didn't come back around

I've kissed you goodbye a thousand times

But never like I'm doing right now

Oh with twenty-one shots going up for the officer down

[Bridge]

I held ya tight when they told me it's time to let go

And I know that somehow you knew that you weren't alone

[Chorus 2]

They called me and told me

It's my officer down

And I talked to you and begged you, but you didn't come back around

I've kissed you goodbye a thousand times

But never like I'm doing right now

Oh with twenty-one shots going up

I wish you had more time with us

'Cause thirty-three years ain't enough for the officer down
