It started back in ´94 with the passing of a Boston Jake
And all it took to grab my heart was the sound that the bagpipes made
So on with my life I go with experiences gained through work
But the dream to get on the job in my heart and mind always keeping me focussed

It was a tribute to a fallen brother and from across the nation
Peers showed up to show their appreciation

Boston Jakes are on duty and they´re ready
At a blaze or incident, so focussed and real steady

In double zero the job came in, the dream was realized
I felt a sense of purpose, pride and complete fullfillment
But with the job comes real life danger, sacrifices that´s the code spoke
The territory that goes with my decision to take the job

Boston Jakes are on duty and they´re ready
At a blaze or incident, so focussed and real steady
Boston Jakes committed to the people they serve
Never hesitating to jump to action or lend a hand
