Officer Down

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

Knowin' I'll leave and you're gonna stay

They called me on a cellphone, tellin' 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 doin' right now

Oh, with twenty one shots gots goin' 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

And people keep askin' if there's anything they can do

But no one can give me back you

They called me on a cellphone, tellin' 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 doin' right now

Oh, with twenty one shots gots goin' 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've kissed you goodbye a thousand times

But never like I'm doin' right now

Oh, with twenty one shots gots goin' up

I wish you had more time with us

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