It's gonna be a long one

Another graveyard shift

Driving away

Watching our backs

Facing our fears

Lord knows it ain't

No easy task

Keeping us safe
D
Under the weight of the badge

He swore that oath

To protect and serve

Pours his heart and soul
A
Into both those words
Am
Lays his life

On the line

The line he walks
A
Is razor fine

Tempered strength

Is always tough

But he ain't gonna buckle

Not that long ago

He woke up in the hospital

With his wife and kids

Praying by his bed
G
He said I'm gonna be alright

There's just sometimes you gotta fight

C G
It doesn't weigh a lot
D
Until you put it on

And the weight of it is staggering

Then duty calls each time
D
He knows he's gotta answer
D
And it's all in the hand
C
And then the woo-ohhh

The heavy weight of the badge
D
(no words)
C
And he ain't gonna buckle
G D
Under the weight of the badge
D
(no words)
Am
No he ain't gonna buckle
G
Under the weight...
D
Of the badge
