For The Love

He takes all this criticism from those who never played the game

No matter how hard they hit him he keeps on playing through the pain

When they lose he takes the blame

Old number nine

For the love they live for the love they die

No higher calling in this life

There's nothing they can't rise above

Cause it's not about rich it's not about poor

Counting the cost and keeping score

They do it for the love

I know this cop in Cincinatti

Born into money and prestige

He could be living off of Daddy

But instead he's out there on the beat

Protecting serving you and me

Badge forty fifty seven

He's in your heart he's your best friend

He won't break no he won't bend

Look around you'll see he's in each of us

We all do it for the love
