Tracy Lawrence - For The Love

He takes all this criticism
from those who never played the game
No matter how hard they hit him
he keeps on playing through the pain
When they lose he takes the blame
Old number nine

For the love they live
for the love they die
No higher calling in this life
There's nothing they can't rise above

Cause it's not about rich
it's not about poor
Counting the cost and keeping score
They do it for
the love

I know this cop in Cincinatti
Born into money and prestige
He could be living off of Daddy
But instead he's out there on the beat
Protecting serving you and me
Badge forty fifty seven

For the love they live
for the love they die
No higher calling in this life
There's nothing they can't rise above

Cause it's not about rich
it's not about poor
Counting the cost and keeping score
They do it for
the love

He's in your heart he's your best friend
He won't break no he won't bend
Look around you'll see he's in each of us

For the love they live
for the love they die
No higher calling in this life
There's nothing they can't rise above

Cause it's not about rich
it's not about poor
Counting the cost and keeping score
They do it for
the love

We all do it for the love
