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 the corner, Dosado you own
Left Allemande and Weave The Ring
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 Square Thru count 'em 4 hands round
You make a Right Hand Star
The Heads Star Left, roll it one time and then
Same pair and do a Dosado
Swing Thru and then the Boys Trade
Swing the corner lady round and Promenade
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 & 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
