[Verse 1] Headlights on a back road Radio hummin', kids asleep You’re the one who hears that crackle When the night cuts deep Coffee cooling in a Styrofoam cup Name tag scratched and worn Boots by the door stay laced up You were made for storms [Chorus] God bless our first responders EMS, fire and police You run straight into the trouble So we can sleep in peace Every siren, every sunrise Every promise that you keep God bless our first responders While we’re counting sheep [Verse 2] Flames dancing in a farmhouse window You’re already on your way Smoke on your coat and ash on your cheek Still you kneel and pray Blue lights paint the gravel shoulder Rain beating on your face You stand steady in the chaos Holding someone’s shaking faith [Chorus] God bless our first responders EMS, fire and police You run straight into the trouble So we can sleep in peace Every siren, every sunrise Every promise that you keep God bless our first responders While we’re counting sheep [Bridge] You miss Christmas morning, Friday nights Birthdays, ball games, simple life So if I see you at the diner, I’ll buy your meal ‘Cause the thanks that you deserve Is worth more than I can feel (oh yeah) [Chorus] God bless our first responders EMS, fire and police You run straight into the trouble So we can sleep in peace Every siren, every sunrise Every promise that you keep God bless our first responders May the Lord watch while you leap God bless our first responders While we’re counting sheep

Starts intimate with fingerpicked acoustic and soft organ pad, then builds in the chorus with harmony stacks and a steady groove. Bridge strips back to vocal and guitar before a final, bigger chorus with ad-libbed runs and lingering guitar bends., blues
