Officer Down - Hannah Ellis

Red and blue lights cover 75 like a train

Miles of cars, full of people with nothing to say

The sun’s out, you’d 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 the cell phone

Telling me there’s an officer down

And we prayed for a miracle, but you didn’t come back around

I’ve kissed you goodbye a thousand times

But never like I’m doing right now

Oh with twenty-one shots going up for the officer down

I begged you to throw out that t-shirt that I sleep in now

And badge number 457 is all over town

People keep asking if there’s anything they can do

But no one can give me back you

They called me on the cell phone

Telling me there’s an officer down

And we prayed for a miracle, but you didn’t come back around

I’ve kissed you goodbye a thousand times

But never like I’m doing right now

Oh with twenty-one shots going up for the officer down

I held ya tight when they told me it’s time to let go

And I know that somehow you knew that you weren’t alone

They called me and told me

It’s my officer down

And I talked to you and begged you, but you didn’t come back around

I’ve kissed you goodbye a thousand times

But never like I’m doing right now

Oh with twenty-one shots going up

I wish you had more time with us

'Cause thirty-three years ain’t enough for the officer down
