Give me my badge and gun
Give me the road that I may run
Give me that peaceful, wandering-free I used to know.

I've wait all I can, but I'm just not a patient man
Man, I've been hiding here for 7 months or so.

Hand me down my coat and hat, and *** the winter one at that
You never know how long I'll be away.

Give me my badge and gun
Give me the songs that I once sung
Give me those jet black, kick-back, lay down nights alone (those lay down nights alone)

This house is safe and warm
But I was made to chase the storm
Taking the whole world on with big ol' empty arms.

Tell my friends I tried my best
That one day I just up and left
They probably saw it coming anyway(what can I say)
Hey, hey. (ooo's)

The lock is on the cellar door
I can't remember what it's for
I ain't been down those stairs in oh so long
So, so long.

Give me my badge and gun
Give me the road that I must run
Give me that peaceful, wandering-free I used to know
A copy of your key is hanging where it used to be
Good as you've always been to me
The life I need to lead
Is somewhere out there calling over those hills
