He finally found the sound but he's in too deep
'Cause nobody will if you won't
Six o'clock on a Christmas morning
And for what?
I could never get over, is it too late for me now?
The pain inside coming outside
Six o'clock on a Christmas morning
The pain inside coming outside
So many ways to drown a man, so many ways to drag him down
I know all about the honor of God, Mary Jane
He can't hear what he's saying when he's talking in his sleep
I've got bases to cover
The pain inside coming outside
Feel like blowing my cover
Some are fast and some take years and years
He lights a cigarette and turns the music down
Tries to shake it off but it just won't stop
I know all about the honor of God, Mary
Once I thought I'd get over but it's too late for me now
But just can't seem to shake that sound
The pain inside coming outside
But don't cut your losses too soon
I know all about the honor of God, Mary
Can't find the strength but he's got promises to keep
And answer a call while you still hear at all
Six o'clock the siren kicks him from a dream
Six o'clock on a Christmas morning
I may never get over but never's better than now
And memory flies out the window
I know all about the honor of God, Mary
And wood to chop before he sleeps
Six o'clock on a Christmas morning
Melody walks through the door
Till they finally let it all go
'Cause you'll only be cutting your throat
Till they finally let it all go
It's nine o'clock but he can't get out
Melody walks through the door
Six o'clock on a Christmas morning
I've got bases to cover
And nobody knows what they want
And memory flies out the window
Well, isn't it for the honor of God, Aunt Kate?
He's in the parking lot and he's just sitting in his car
Nobody knows what they want
Six o'clock on a Christmas morning
