This song has some very special meaning to me as I remember that when this song first aired back in 1997 I was living in New Hampshire and at the time this song had hit the airwaves we had just experienced a wave of tragedies when two New Hampshire State Police troopers and a judge were murdered by a lone gunman who later was killed by police in Vermont after a shootout and the following week another police officer was killed in the town of Epsom NH by someone who had just gotten out of prison on parole. The irony with that one was that the young officer in question had just come back from the funeral for the two troopers.
