“Red and Blue Lights Cover seventy five like a train // Miles of cars full of people with nothing to say // The suns out, you think that it’s just another November day // Oh and I can’t help but be mad knowing I’ll leave and you’re gonna stay // They called me on a cell phone telling me there’s an officer down // And we prayed for a miracle, but you didn’t come back around // Oh I kissed you goodbye a thousand times, but never like I’m doing right now // Oh we’re 21 shots going up for the officer down”
