Protect the public that's my desire 
Back of my shirt says Tulsa fire 
          C 
I take a good look around 
           G 
I keep a close watch over this town 
                Dsus4                   C 
Gotta make it right, gotta go a little higher 
          G

Might be a house, might be a wreck 
Could be a baby, might be a pet 
             C 
Yeah we're prepared to make them all 
            G 
Ready and able for the next call 
                Dsus4                   C 
Gotta make it right, gotta go a little higher

We came and saw flames shooting up 
Then we proceded to kick its butt 
         C 
Shut it down and load it up 
                 G 
we gotta get on back alright 
                 Dm                     C 
Gotta make it right, gotta go a little higher

We stick together through thick and thin 
They might need me I might need them 
                    C 
As the heat gets hotter, we fight to win 
              G 
I walk away alive alright 
               Dsus4                    C 
Gotta make it right, gotta go a little higher

And I try to act like it doesn't bother me 
To see someone injured or lose their property 
                C 
I gotta be the rock, gotta take it in stride 
                 G 
Even when it's tearing me up inside 
               Dsus4                   C 
Gtta make it right, gotta go a litte higher 
          G

Oh lord who's blessed watch over us 
Protect our ranks when the going gets tough 
           C 
Send some angels down our way 
         G 
When we need them, amen 
                Dsus4                   C 
Gotta make it right, gotta go a little higher
