Lyrics
Sunrise paints the highway gold, another shift begins to unfold
Coffee strong, a uniform neat, ready for the rhythm of the street
Sirens wail, a call comes in, straight into the chaos, where the real work begins
Helping hands and a steady gaze, through the smoke and the desperate haze.
Swore an oath to stand so tall, answer every single call
Never questioned, never blinked, on the edge, always on the brink.
Yeah, I'm always on call, always haunted, beneath this smile, a memory's planted
Upbeat tunes on the radio play, while the echoes of yesterday won't fade away
Another round of whiskey neat, trying to drown the bitter sweet
This badge on my chest, it shines so bright, but it carries the burden of every long night.
Seen the worst that life can bring, heard the brokenhearted sing
Held a hand, delivered news, paid my dues, sang the blues
They clap your back, they call you brave, but they don't see the nightmares that you save
Locked inside, behind these eyes, where the ghosts of the past still rise.
Swore an oath to stand so tall, answer every single call
Never questioned, never blinked, on the edge, always on the brink.
Yeah, I'm always on call, always haunted, beneath this smile, a memory's planted
Upbeat tunes on the radio play, while the echoes of yesterday won't fade away
Another round of whiskey neat, trying to drown the bitter sweet
This badge on my chest, it shines so bright, but it carries the burden of every long night.
Some scars ain't visible, they're deep inside the soul
A silent fight I wage each day, trying to keep the shadows at bay.
Yeah, I'm always on call, always haunted, beneath this smile, a memory's planted
Upbeat tunes on the radio play, while the echoes of yesterday won't fade away
Another round of whiskey neat, trying to drown the bitter sweet
This badge on my chest, it shines so bright, but it carries the burden of every long night.
Yeah, always on call... always haunted...
