The Weight of the Badge (RR 406) Wade Driver

OPENER

Circle Left
It's Gonna Be a Long One, Another Graveyard Shift
As he says Good bye to his wife and kids
Left Allemande, you dosado
Allemande Left, weave the ring you know
He's seen it all in his fifteen years
Watching our backs, facing our fears
Lord knows, it ain't no easy task
Keeping us safe, under the weight of the badge

FIGURE

Heads promenade, about halfway
The sides do the right and left thru I say
Side couples square thru, four hands you know
Everybody's gonna do an eight chain four
There's just sometimes, you gotta fight
Swing that girl, promenade tonight
Lord knows, it ain't no easy task
But he ain't gonna buckle under the weight of the badge

MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER

Grand Square
He swore that oath, to protect and serve
Pours his heart and soul, into both those words
Lays his life, on the Line
And the line he walks, is razor fine, allemande and weave
It doesn't weigh a lot, until you put it on
Then the weight of it, is staggering
Tempered strength, is always tough
But he ain't gonna buckle under the weight of the badge

TAG

No He ain't gonna buckle, under the weight of the badge
