Six O'clock News Lyrics - Failer - Kathleen Edwards

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
