Copper on the corner and he loaded two rounds

And I can't even cross a line to talk you down

And Peter sweet baby where'd 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

Face is all over six O'clock news

They cleared the streets and then they closed the schools

I can't even get inside

Did you lose your head when the farm went down

Or was is when your daddy died after he moved to town

And I know your momma 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

Face is all over six O'clock news

They cleared the streets and then they closed the schools

I can't even get inside

Peter sweet baby there's just 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

Face is all over six O'clock news

They cleared the streets 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 when ahead and he just shot you through

Now you're lying dead on the avenue

And I can't feel my broken heart I can't feel my broken heart
