Small-Town Blue Lights

[Verse] Well, I remember back in '82, When evenings were golden and skies were blue, Folks sat on their porches, strummin' guitars, Dreams were small but they took us far. [Verse 2] Now I've got a badge and a beat to walk, Shoutin' for justice in this world of talk, The TV screens blaze, distorting the truth, But I just want peace like we had in our youth. [Chorus] I'm a small-town deputy, fighting the lies, Wishin' for respect under these country skies, Let's go back to days when love led the way, And we met our neighbors with a smile every day. [Verse 3] Fake news chases shadows, hides what’s real, But I trust what I see, and I know what I feel, Kids today, they don’t play in the street, Too scared of the world they’re afraid to meet. [Verse 4] I drive in my cruiser, lights flashin' bright, Hoping my hometown will see the light, Put away the fear, put down the guns, Find the simple life like back when we'd begun. [Chorus] I'm a small-town deputy, fighting the lies, Wishin' for respect under these country skies, Let’s go back to days when love led the way, And we met our neighbors with a smile every day.
