George Strait - The Weight Of The Badge (en) Lyrics
- Secure!
Hit!
- You have people
that are going out
And doing a job to defend
their communities.
And you know in the
back of the mind
Of every one of those officers,
One of them might
not be going home.
And we have seen, I've seen
it throughout my career,
I've seen it here locally,
Where a police officer
didn't go home.
They kissed their
loved ones goodbye
And that was the last
time they saw 'em.
And sometimes I don't
think we realize
The impact
That this job has had
on our families,
Let alone ourselves.
That's a heavy weight.
That's the heavy
weight of the badge.
It's gonna be a long one
Another graveyard shift
As he says goodbye to
his wife and kids
He spends 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
He swore that oath to
protect and serve
Pours his heart and soul
into both those words
Lays his life on the line
The line he walks
is razor fine
- Every time he goes
I'm always like
"Call me or text
me when you leave,"
Because I just want to
make sure he's okay
Because I know that it's
a possibility
That he may not be some time.
That's the biggest weight
And I feel like a lot of
times when he leaves
And I give him a hug and
a kiss, goodbye,
I always hold onto him for an
extra couple of seconds,
Just because.
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 the badge
- So for me, the weight
of the badge is
The weight of the pager.
When the tones go off,
The emergency comes in
and you're going.
- And at the end of the day,
When we get done
with our careers,
We go back home to our families.
Well, who are we returning
back to their families?
- But you still have to
leave and go home
And take that badge off,
But after you've had a
long day at work,
Your heart is still heavy because
of what you've seen.
- When you say, "the weight
of the badge,"
"The weight of the shield,"
I was holding a conversation
the other night,
We were on standby
at a firehouse
And talking with the chief
of another department
And we were talking
about seeing-
32
Partition street.
- I'm going.
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
- It's a sense of
service, really.
That weight is a
sense of service to
The people.
I'm very, very hopeful and
I'm a optimist.
I think most of us are optimists
in this job
'Cause really we want
to do what's right
And what's good for the people
And stumbled and fall,
Just get up, dust yourself off,
and then you keep moving.
Cause that's what life's
about, isn't it?
- Yeah.
I hope so.
It's what I try to do,
you know.
- You know, the weight of
the badge, you know,
'Cause it's really not that heavy
until you put it on.
And then for those guys, it's
gotta be incredibly heavy.
- Look, this is a teenager.
This is a teenager,
right here.
- I'm blessed enough to,
you know,
Have two, like,
incredible daughters
That they're like
beyond their years.
- When this uniform comes
off, what do I have?
I have my family.
- Right about now.
We're going to go outside and show
you what is my pride and joy.
- One of my collar honors
that came off one of my
Original uniforms and I would
like to have george strait
Have that as a token of
my thank you for
Doing this, the song, "weight
of the badge,"
And also a
Miniature replica of my badge.
That's, like I said,
It's small, but it's heavy.
Please support me on PATREON Thank you!
