Depicts the life of a Law Enforcement Officer

Lyrics

OFFICER OF THE LAW
(John Tracy Publishing, ASCAP)

I?ve seen some things on this job like never before
It?s nothing like my days at the retail store
Now I work for the city?s police
My duty to protect and uphold the peace
The deal is made, my life is on lease
I?m an Officer of the Law

I?m an Officer of the Law
It?s more than an occupation
You could say it?s my call
Justice and honesty stand above all
When you?re an Officer of the Law

I?m at home out there on the street
It?s the heart and I am the beat
Some people may ask themselves why
?Cause I get nothing better for risking my life
To that question I have one reply
I?m an Officer of the Law

I?m an Officer of the Law
It?s more than an occupation
You could say it?s my call
Justice and honesty stand above all
When you?re an Officer of the Law

If my last breath on earth will be
A death of old age or young fatality
At least I?ll know in my heart
I served my fellow man

So if I stop you on down the road
I?m not trying to add to your heavy load
Before you judge me, won?t you please pause
I?m just an Officer of the Law
