She was flying down the road

 She and her boyfriend had a fight

 She almost ran down a pedestrian

 and ran a few red lights

 The flashing lights and siren behind her

 made her groan, and she said damn!

 She pulled over for the Cop

 Cops she couldn't stand

 He ask for her license and registration

 and proof of insurance too

 She glared at him as she went thru her purse

 and he said, Do you know why I stopped you?

 No! She lied with an attitude

 As she tried to find her stuff

 She said, don't you have anything better to do

 then to stop someone in a rush?

 There must be a shooting

 a murder or a rape

 Or a bank being robbed

 or some other important scrape

 Instead you stop the one

 Whose taxes pay your check

 And my friend is a lawyer

 and your career he will wreck

 You Cops sit around eating donuts

 Harrasin tax payin folks

 Is it any wonder

 That you're the butt of all our jokes?

 He wrote her out a ticket

 and she cursed him under her breath

 He gave it to her and she grabbed it

 She said sarcastically, Gee, so glad we met

 Well the Cop didn't say much

 Just "slow down ma'am", and walked away

 He knew she wouldn't be interested

 In anything he had to say

 A few months had passed

 She had been out with her friends and drinkin

 Her boyfriend and her, had another fight

 So she went for a drive to do some thinkin

 She was speeding down the highway

 When she lost control

 She skidded onto the dirt shoulder

 and her car went off the road

 Over the embankment

 Her car landed upside down

 She was trapped and cried for help

 But no one was around

 She was hurt so bad

 She was afraid she didn't have a chance

 It was then with terror

 That she smelled the gas

 She saw the fire

 that ignited under the hood

 and she knew that she might die

 That much she understood.

 Then an angel appeared at her window

 It was the cop that she had met

 He was down on his hands and knees

 I'm not going to leave you,

 but there's somethin I have to get

 I'm going to try and get you out

 Don't be afraid, I'll be right back

 and he ran to his car to get

 his crow bar and a jack

 Then she saw him working

 Trying to get her free

 When the flames came inside

 She began to scream

 The flames were burin

 around her pinned legs

 and she saw that he was cryin

 as she began to beg

 Then by some miracle

 She felt him pull her out

 and then there were lights and sirens

 and she heard someone shout

 The Cop half drug and carried her

 away from the burning car about to blow

 Then she heard the thunder spit the night

 She said, you could have died too you know?

 Then paramedics were at her side

 Her pain was so intense

 The Cop was still at her side

 burned and covered in blood

 he was a mess

 Someone tried to help him

 but he waved them away

 She wondered why he tried to save her

 after the things she had said that day

 His hands were blistered, red and black

 His face was etched with pain

 As he stood beside her

 She wondered if she would ever see him again

 A few days later

 Several officers came to talk

 Right after she heard the news

 That she would never be able to walk

 She asked the Cop

 makin his report about that night

 She said, could you tell me how the Cop is

 the one that saved my life?

 I want to thank him

 for what he did for me

 I wasn't very nice to him

 The first time we met, you see

 Then a man with bandaged arms

 Walked in and stood beside her bed

 and smiled the sweetest smile

 and then he softly he said

 There's no need to thank me ma'am

 I did what I had to do

 It's all part of my job

 To serve and protect you

 She said, I'm so sorry

 For the things that I have said

 Because if it weren't for you

 I would be dead

 She said, I guess I never thought about

 the job that you do

 I was only thinkin about myself

 and I was unkind and rude

 How can I repay you? She asked

 for what you've done, what can I do?

 Well he said, the next time you see a Cop

 remember we are human just like you

 He turned and walked out of the room

 And as night began to fall

 She knew that if weren't for him

 She would have lost it all

 His words came back to haunt her

 the day he stopped her and asked her to slow down

 And for her angel in blue

 A new respect she found

 And with tears upon her face

 humbled with her shame

 She realized that she

 Was the only one to blame

 So for the men in blue

 She closed her eyes and said a prayer

 For these men so brave and true

 and thanked God that he was there
