Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Alarm clock cracks the dark
Coffee in a chipped old cup
Polished boots by the back screen door
He bends down, picking toys up
He tucks a blanket, smooths her hair
Whispers, “Baby, lock the latch”
Kisses her like it’s the last time
He’s the man behind the badge
[Chorus]
He’s the man behind the badge
Just a husband, just a dad
Chasing bad dreams off this town
In a worn-out uniform and faith he’s had
He’s loyal to the oath he swore
Honest eyes that never dodge
Fair as rain on a dusty field
He’s more than that name on his lodge
Yeah, he’s holding back the damage
The man behind the badge
[Verse 2]
Little hand on his holster
“Daddy, will you be late?”
He laughs soft, hides the shiver
Says, “I’ll see you—save me some cake”
He kisses foreheads, counts them twice
Heart a drum in the dispatch glow
Every call could be a last call
Every night, he still goes
[Chorus]
He’s the man behind the badge
Just a husband, just a dad
Chasing bad dreams off this town
In a worn-out uniform and faith he’s had
He’s loyal to the oath he swore
Honest eyes that never dodge
Fair as rain on a dusty field
He’s more than that name on his lodge
Yeah, he’s holding back the damage
The man behind the badge
[Bridge]
He prays, “Lord, lead me steady
Make me brave, keep me kind”
Let me judge with steady hands
Not with anger in my mind
If I don’t walk through that doorway
Put Your arms ‘round my home” (oh)
Then he steps into the red and blue
Never really walks alone
[Chorus]
He’s the man behind the badge
Just a husband, just a dad
Chasing bad dreams off this town
In a worn-out uniform and faith he’s had
He’s loyal to the oath he swore
Honest eyes that never dodge
Fair as rain on a dusty field
He’s more than that name on his lodge
Yeah, he always kisses them goodbye
Never sure he’s coming back
Still he stands that thin, thin line
The man behind the badge
