It's gonna be a long one, another graveyard shift
As he says goodbye to his wife and kids
It's been 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
Swore that oath, to protect and serve
Pours his heart and soul, into both those worlds
Lays his life, on the line
The line he walks, his rays are fine
Tempered strength, is always tough
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 a badge.
I do it for us, and I do it for them, and I ain't gonna buckle under the weight of a badge.
And the weight, oh, 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.
