The Weight Of The Badge - George Strait https://youtu.be/NBOHAy3qQGY Drop-D Tuning - No Capo [Intro] [Verse] It’s gonna be a long one Another graveyard shift As he says goodbye To his wife and kids He spent his life Just like his dad’s Driving away Under the weight of the badge [Verse] He’s seen it all In his 15 years Watching our backs Facing our fears Lord knows it ain’t No easy task Keeping us safe Under the weight of the badge [Chorus] He swore that oath To protect and serve Pours his heart and soul Into both those words Lays his life On the line The line he walks Is razor fine Tempered strength Is always tough But he ain’t gonna buckle Under the weight of the badge [Bridge] Not that long ago He woke up in the hospital With his wife and kids Praying by his bed He said I’m gonna be alright There’s just sometimes you gotta fight And the truth is Nothing truer could be said I do it for us And I do it for them And I ain’t gonna buckle under the weight of the badge [Solo] [Outro] It doesn’t weigh a lot Until you put it on And the weight of it is staggering Then duty calls each time He knows he’s gotta answer And it’s all in the hand And then the woo-ohhh The heavy weight of the badge (no words) And he ain’t gonna buckle Under the weight of the badge (no words) No he ain’t gonna buckle Under the weight...

Cette chanson évoque la vie d’un homme qui consacre sa carrière à protéger les autres en portant une responsabilité énorme. Chaque nuit, après avoir dit au revoir à sa famille, il part pour une longue garde où il doit affronter des situations difficiles. Malgré les défis et le danger, il reste déterminé à ne pas céder sous la pression de son devoir. La lutte qu’il mène pour assurer la sécurité de ses concitoyens est marquée par son engagement profond, mêlant courage et sacrifice. Le contexte met en lumière le travail des forces de l’ordre et le poids émotionnel et physique qui accompagne cette vocation. Loin d’être un simple uniforme, la badge représente cette charge invisible mais bien réelle, qui se fait sentir à chaque instant.
