The city sleeps, or so it seems, beneath the flashing lights
Another call, another chase, through long and lonely nights
But when the shift is winding down, and the uniform comes off

I know this bond, this sacred trust, will never ever end.
We face the storm, side by side, whatever comes our way
And find our peace within each other, at the closing of the day.
(Chorus)
'Cause you wear the badge Baby and I wear mine, we walk the thin blue line
