THE THIN BLUE LINE |
LyricsTHIN BLUE LINE(Pete Papageorge) V1: You spend most of your life in a fight with crime You've been outgunned, outmanned, and working overtime But you're the one who's been assigned So it's up to you on the THIN BLUE LINE V2: Well, you do it for your friends and the ones you love Or maybe for the One who called you from above Whether it's fate or by design Now it's up to you on the THIN BLUE LINE BRIDGE: Or for the ones who went before you In serving their fellow man You honor the memory of them Doing the best you can For the mothers and the daughters, The sisters and the brothers, Fathers and sons Who gave their lives in the battle Still to be won V3: When you strap on your gun and buckle your belt Take a moment to feel the pride that others have felt Cause when you head on out, you're bound to find The evidence of danger, at the very first sign Cause it's up to you on the THIN BLUE LINE Yeah, it's up to you on the THIN BLUE LINE (c)2000 Once in a Lifetime Music (BMI) |
