lyrics

When he was six years old
he saw a firetruck
he knew that that's what he would be when he grew up
A prairie boy, he used to drink and drive
Second generation, middle child
when he was 22, he knocked his girlfriend up
they had a little boy, but then they soon broke up
so he cut his hair,
and he joined the department

As the years went by, he took it all in stride
His partner laughed it off
when he was stabbed three times
scraping mangled kids off of frozen roads
responding to the same person's overdose
cut a crumpled man from a deep freezer
pulled a bloated boy out of the Red River
so he took to drink
and he isolated

these are things that most of us never see
these are things that most of us never see
these are things that most of us never see
every day he's the first one at the scene

he couldn't get to sleep
no matter what he tried
no way to turn it off, nowhere to hide
it festered in his mind
but no one wants to know
if you wanna be a man, then don't let it show

so he tied his shoes, hit the pavement running
running, running,
running, running, running, running, running .....
these are things that most of us never see
