From the recording Better Than
Lyrics
[Intro]
“Another sunrise, another round…
Duty calls, and I’m all in.”
[Verse 1]
Boots hit gravel, the day begins
Same ol’ streets, same ol’ wins
You grab the gear, I wag my tail
Ready for action, we never fail
Sirens hummin’, the town wakes slow
But we’re already set, it’s time to go
Your hand on my vest, I catch your eye
We don’t talk much, but we don’t need why
[Pre-Chorus]
Every call, every mile we roll
You’re the heart, I’m the soul
Through the calm, through the fight
We shine together in the night
[Chorus]
I’m always on patrol, through fire and rain
Watchin’ your back again and again
No fear, no pause, I give it my all
Standin’ proud, never let you fall
From the city lights to the mountain’s roll
I’m your partner for life, always on patrol
[Verse 2]
Home again, the badge comes down
Kids laugh loud, we chase around
You’re grillin’ steaks, I guard that gate
Old habits, yeah, they just don’t wait
Neighbors wave, I give a stare
Friendly, sure--but I’m still aware
Ain’t no switch, just how I roll
On or off, I’m in control
[Bridge]
You say “rest,” I try to sleep
But promises are what I keep
You gave me trust, I gave my vow
A shepherd’s love, I’m showin’ now
[Pre-Chorus]
I dream sometimes of open skies
No more sirens, no more cries
But when I hear that radio tone
I know this heart’s where it belongs
[Chorus]
I’m always on patrol, through the wind, through the rain
Never lettin’ go of the bond we’ve made
No fear, no pause, I stand tall
I’m the rhythm behind your call
From the sunset glow to the city’s soul
Forever your shadow--always on patrol
[Outro]
“Day or night, home or street…
I got your back. Partner, always.”
