Lyrics
Alarm clock goin’ off
Tellin’ him it’s 5 am
Duty calls
He’ll be ridin’ backwards
On that truck again
He kisses his wife and holds her tight
Whispers I love you
Have a good day
Be careful when you drive
And I’ll miss you
See you in the morning
I’ll be home soon
As my shift is through
He lays his life on the line
For a city that doesn’t even know his name
He’s always ready and willing
To suit up and do battle
In the smoke and flame
His blood, sweat, and sacrifice
Could mean he won’t make it home
To his kids and wife
So he thanks God each night for all he has
And every morning he says goodbye
Like it might be his last
Across the hall
Is his baby girl
Little green blanket
Brown eyes
And those auburn curls
Dreamin’ those dreams
How she’ll dance and sing
And be a superstar
Ride that horse into the sunset
Stealin’ her daddy’s heart
He kisses her cheek
Covers up her feet
And closes the door
As he’s headed to the door he looks to the right and sees his little man
Peeking out from under those covers askin’ “where ya goin’ Dad?”
Are you comin’ home tomorrow? And will you play with me?
Can we toss the ball around and maybe watch TV?
And Daddy while you’re workin’ I hope you think of me
