Calling All Cars

Yeah somebody got drunk and drove their car Down in a ditch leaving the bar Didn't make the corner and here comes the ambulance It was Jimmy's first trip in the back of the van When they flipped on the siren tried to steady his hand He came down the hill somebody didn't have a chance Calling all cars come in wherever you are You better call up somebody's mama and break her heart Yeah come in come in Calling all cars Well three hours in on a twelve hour shift Eric went out back he needed a lift Walked back inside as Bobby walked in through the door It was his fifth day in on an eight day binge With a pocket full of nothing and an empty syringe He pulled out a pistol and ordered Eric down on the floor REPEAT Chorus Well officer Edwards finally gave in He chambered a bullet put it under his chin He thought about taking himself out just because But when that call came in it was like a trumpet sound And pulled him out of the darkness in which he was drowned And remembered when life was bigger than he was
