He put on his uniform and his spit shined boots
He Could’ve picked any other job, but he stuck to his roots
He Grabbed his gun and his badge as he leaned in to kiss his pretty little wife
She Had no idea that her love would lose his life
Thrill of the chase
Thrill of the chase
He made it into work and everything seemed just fine
Made an extra pot of coffee just to try and pass the time
Sipping coffee, and checking voicemails on his phone
He didn’t know but on that day he would not make it home
Thrill of the chase
Thrill of the chase
Later Dispatch called his number across the radio
They told him the call and where they needed him to go
There was a real mean man running from the law
Little did he know this would be his curtain call
Thrill of the chase
Thrill of the chase
Running blue lights and siren to catch that crook
His wife had tried to text him, no time to look
He was seeing triple digits on the speedo on his dash
No money could buy the high this gave him, Not any amount of cash
Thrill of the chase
Thrill of the chase
Took a curve a little too fast and broke the rear end loose
Had his eyes on the prize, but fate was cinching in the noose
As his car went off a bank he said a humble short sweet little prayer
He said Lord, please take care of my wife and kids when I’m not there
Thrill of the chase
Thrill of the chase
The chief called his wife to break the bad news
Something a fellow officer never wants to have to do
As he broke the tough news to her she began to shake
He said, I don’t know why and I don’t know how
But honey he’s with Jesus now
Thrill of the chase
Thrill of the chase
His wife laid down and cried and sobbed until her tears ran dry
All she could think to say was, Why Lord Why
She found a note laying on the nightstand right beside the telephone
It said, in case I go to be with Jesus I’m gonna leave you with this song
Thrill of the chase
Thrill of the chase
It’s the thrill of the chase
For the thrill of the chase
Thrill of the chase
Thrill of the chase
For the thrill of the chase
