Lyrics
I'm a cop in the city
My job is never pretty
I'm tough through and through
Call me Boston Blue
I'm a cop in the city
My job is never pretty
I'm tough through and through
Call me Boston Blue
My heart's on my sleeve
It's the life for me
The proud and the few
Call me Boston Blue
Like a change of scene
The streets can turn mean
I know what to do
Call me Boston Blue
A day in my life
Would just blow your mind
I tell you the truth
Call me Boston Blue
I lay my life on the line
I put it there all the time
But that's nothing new
Call me Boston Blue
I lay my life on the line
I put it there all the time
This is what I choose
I have paid my dues
The proud and the few
Call me Boston Blue
