| [00:09.85] |
It's gonna be a long one, another grave yard shift |
| [00:16.84] |
As he says goodbye to his wife and kids |
| [00:23.72] |
He spends his life just like his dad's |
| [00:29.53] |
Driving away under the weight of the badge |
| [00:35.40] |
He's seen it all in his fifteen years |
| [00:41.17] |
Watchin' our backs, facing our fears |
| [00:47.75] |
Lord knows it ain't no easy task |
| [00:53.46] |
Keeping us safe under the weight of the badge |
| [01:00.16] |
He swore that oath to protect and serve |
| [01:05.53] |
Pours his heart and soul into both those words |
| [01:11.73] |
Lays his life on the line |
| [01:17.44] |
And the line he walks is razor-fine |
| [01:23.65] |
Tempered strength is always tough |
| [01:29.42] |
But he ain't gonna buckle under the weight of the badge |
| [01:36.18] |
Not that long ago, he woke up in the hospital |
| [01:41.68] |
With his wife and kids praying by his bed |
| [01:47.20] |
He said, "I'm gonna be alright |
| [01:50.63] |
There's just some times you gotta fight" |
| [01:53.60] |
And the truth is, nothing truer could be said |
| [01:59.62] |
I do it for us and I do it for them |
| [02:05.24] |
And I ain't gonna buckle under the weight of the badge |
| [02:37.15] |
It doesn't weigh a lot until you put it on |
| [02:45.46] |
And the weight of it is staggering |
| [02:48.55] |
Then duty calls each time |
| [02:54.27] |
He knows he's gotta answer |
| [02:57.36] |
And it's all in the hand of |
| [02:59.79] |
The heavy weight of the badge |
| [03:11.47] |
And he ain't gonna buckle |
| [03:14.63] |
Under the weight of the badge |
| [03:23.53] |
No, he ain't gonna buckle |
| [03:26.49] |
Under the weight of the badge |
