It was Jimmy's first trip in the back of the van

When they flipped on the siren tried to steady his hand
B A E
He came down the hill somebody didn't have a chance

Calling all cars come in wherever you are
A E B
You better call up somebody's mama and break her heart
A
Yeah come in come in
E
Calling all cars
Well three hours in on a twelve hour shift
Eric went out back he needed a lift
Walked back inside as Bobby walked in through the door
It was his fifth day in on an eight day binge
With a pocket full of nothing and an empty syringe
He pulled out a pistol and ordered Eric down on the floor
REPEAT Chorus
Well officer Edwards finally gave in
He chambered a bullet put it under his chin
He thought about taking himself out just because
But when that call came in it was like a trumpet sound
And pulled him out of the darkness in which he was drowned
And remembered when life was bigger than he was
