Ooh well today marks the day now for twenty five years
I've been a highway patrolman
I've made a lot of friends down through the years and
I'll always remember them
From my days as a rookie right up to now
I've loved my job you see
But now they say it's time for me to rest so they're retirin' me
Well they gave me a shiny gold watch and a long shiny gold chain
They say I'll have a pension for life but life just won't be the same
Cause I won't know what to do with myself just stayin' at home all day
Cause I've been with the law now for half of my life and
I'm used to livin' this way

Twenty five years twenty five years twenty five years on patrol

I just checked in my uniform and the badge that I've worn so long
I can't use 'em anymore now 'cause can't wear 'em around home
It just won't be the same anymore stayin' at home all day
But I can't stay here at the station cause well I'd just be in their way

I shook hands with the Captain and the boys all told me goodbye
And as I walked out of the station I felt part of me die
Cause I knew that I wouldn't be back and things wouldn't be the same
Cause now they say that I'm too old and I guess time's the one to blame

Twenty five years twenty five years twenty five years on patrol
Twenty five years twenty five years now they say that I'm too old
And there'll be no more patrol for me oooh
