six o'clock news Copper on the corner and he loaded two rounds And I can't even cross the line to talk you down And peter, sweet baby, where did you get that gun You spend half your life trying to turn the other half around And I tried to come clean, but I guess it's no use Your face is all over the six o'clock news They cleared the street and then they closed the schools I can't even get inside Did you lose your head when the farm went down Was it when your daddy died after he moved to town And I know your mama calls you good for nothing She says her baby is a failer and she don't want you calling And I tried to come clean, but I guess it's no use Your face is all over the six o'clock news They cleared the street and then they closed the schools I can't even get inside And Peter, sweet baby, there's something I need to say to you I'm gonna have your baby this coming June We could get a little place down by Gilmour Park You could do a little time and save my broken heart And I tried to come clean, but I guess it's no use Your face is all over the six o'clock news They cleared the street and then they closed the schools I can't even get inside And I tried to come clean, but I guess it's no use Copper went ahead and he just shot you through Now you're lying dead on the avenue And I can't feel my broken heart And I can't feel my broken heart
