Steven
Am 
G 
was one of Carolina's finest
Em 
He was proud to wear the badge
G 
D 
And drive the black and white
He was an honest man,
Am 
G 
a good husband and a father
Em 
G 
He read his daughter's stories
D 
when she went to bed at night
C 
And he made sure to tell his wife
Em 
that he loved her
G 
He told her to feel good
D 
about the way he spent his life
C 
And he called himself a
G 
man of education
Cause every other night
he taught somebody else

how to see wrong and right

G 
And he said, if anything ever happens,

Em 
I did my best every time,
G

I won't de fend you tonight

All I wanted to do was care for my family

And give the world a little more light

Am 
Stephen was a beat cop
G 
down in Charleston
Em 
From the Leading Street extension
G 
D 
to the city market lights
Am 
G 
He knew the freaks out on every corner
Em 
G 
And the rats in every crevice
D 
he knew where to find
C 
And he held his gun
Em 
with the right kind of con fidence
G 
When the sirens started crying
D 
and the night was feeling tight
C 
And sometimes his wife
Em 
would have a hard time sleeping
G 
Cause she knew a man was out
there somewhere,
C 
A 
keeping rule in the night
D 
G 
And he said, if anything ever happens,

It was late on a Thursday
Am 
G 
when he  was called to ac tion
Em 
G 
A robbery in progress,
D 
and he was the first on sight
Am 
And he never saw the man
G 
behind the counter
Em 
He never had a chance
G 
D 
to tell his wife and child goodnight
C 
And through her tears she knew
somewhere
Em 
someone was thankful
G 
For the life that he had given
D 
to uphold what was right
G 
C 
After all he was a man
Em 
of education
G 
Helping us all to see a better

A 
way of life
D 
And she would hear him say
G 
If anything ever happens,
C 
just be proud of me
Em 
I give my best every time

I walk the thin blue line

All I wanted to do was care for my family
