Man in Blue

M.M. Schmelz

Zero dark thirty

That's the hour

Brew some coffee

Take a shower

Get dressed in all blue

Shiny golden badge

Also a gun

Got to be there at five

All I ask is you come home alive

In this city

So much crime

Little time to react

Citizens don't care

That you're always there

Risking your life

Because of someone else's strife

They think you're a bother

But when they need help boy do they hollar hurry

And expect you to scurry

No one has a clue

About all you do

Man in blue

We'll always love you
