Graduate stands, family is proud
I love being a cop
Kids wave hi, as I patrol by
I love being a cop
Elderly adore, for holding the door
I love being a cop
Dope off the street, cleaning my beat
I love being a cop
Stopping her man, from laying a hand
I love being a cop
Hold on to a mom, her baby is gone
I love being a cop
Up on the stand, point out the man
I love being a cop
Never at home, wife feels alone
I love being a cop
Kids ask for dad, they act so sad
I love being a cop
One more stop, before I’m off the clock
I love being a cop
The stop went bad, my family is sad
I loved being a cop
Bagpipes play, class A’s today
They show love for a cop
Hand off the flag, to his wife, their dad
Why did he have to be a cop
I’m lowered down, six feet in the ground
That is my fear, of being a cop
