officer down

Red and blue lights cover 75 like a train
Miles of cars, full of people with nothing to say
The suns out, youd think that its just another November day
Oh and I cant help but be mad, knowing Ill leave and youre gonna stay
They called me on the cell phone
Telling me theres an officer down
And we prayed for a miracle, but you didnt come back around
Ive kissed you goodbye a thousand times
But never like Im 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 457 is all over town
People keep asking if theres anything they can do
But no one can give me back you
They called me on the cell phone
Telling me theres an officer down
And we prayed for a miracle, but you didnt come back around
Ive kissed you goodbye a thousand times
But never like Im doing right now
Oh with twenty-one shots going up for the officer down
I held ya tight when they told me its time to let go
And I know that somehow you knew that you werent alone
They called me and told me
Its my officer down
And I talked to you and begged you, but you didnt come back around
Ive kissed you goodbye a thousand times
But never like Im doing right now
Oh with twenty-one shots going up
I wish you had more time with us
Cause thirty-three years aint enough for the officer down
