Officer Down

Red and Blue Lights Cover seventy five like a train
Miles of cars full of people with nothing to say
The suns 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

They called me on a cell phone telling me there's an officer down
And we prayed for a miracle, but you didn't come back around
Oh 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

I begged you to throw out that T-shirt that I sleep in now
And badge number four fifty seven is all over town
And people keep asking if there's anything that they can do
But no one can give me back you

They called me on a cell phone telling me there's an officer down
And we prayed for a miracle, but you didn't come back around
Oh 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

I held you tight when they told me it's time to let go
And I know that somehow you knew that you weren't alone
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
Oh I 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
