Late one night headin' on home
Drivin' too fast radio on
Huggin' that curve a little to tight
Now he's hangin' on for his life
Upside down and all alone
Hopin' he could reach his phone
80 years old watchin' TV
All of a sudden it's hard to breathe
She tries to get up then hits the ground
Wheel of fortune spins around
Sends up a prayer thought this is it
As she pushed the button around her neck
They're the ones behind the scenes
Every day and night
That friendly voice you need to hear
When you're fighting for your life
Not every angel wears their wings
But they're always there for you and me
To them it's just a job after all
When they answer the call
911 what's your emergency
She said I'd like to order a pizza please
But Ma'am you reached 911
She said I know could you say how long
Ma'am is everything okay
No it's 413 Maple Way
Is there someone in the room with you
That you can't talk about
She said yes Sir pepperoni please
How long can it be now
I've got an officer a mile away
Can you stay on the line
She said no thanks I'll see you soon
I'll turn on my porch light
They're the ones behind the scenes
Every day and night
That friendly voice you need to hear
When you're fighting for your life
Not every angel wears their wings
But they're always there for you and me
To them it's just a job after all
When they answer the call
They're the ones behind the scenes
Every day and night
That friendly voice you need to hear
When you're fighting for your life
Not every angel wears their wings
But they're always there for you and me
To them it's just a job after all
When they answer the call
When they answer the call
They answer the call
