6 a .m. and
you're out the door
Can't win the game if you
don't keep score
Press your bell, payin' bills
Prayin' it stops, but you don't think it
will
Where the pines and
the apple tree grow
Shadows longer and the sun is getting low
Wouldn't trade those memories
for diamonds or gold
Can't keep leaving when
you're needing a home
Wouldn't trade those memories
for dia monds or gold
Can't keep leaving when you're
needing a home
Can't guess where
you're headed next
Overwhelmed and underdressed
Keepin' up while your mind
changes every minute
Fighting for position but
your heart isn't in it
Where the pines and the apple tree grow
The shadow's longer and
the sun is getting low
Wouldn't trade those
memories for diamonds or gold
Can't keep leaving when
you're needing a home
Wouldn't trade those memories
for dia monds or gold
Can't keep leaving when you're needing a home
6 p .m. and you're out the door
Back in your car
But you don't know what for
Rain and snow, gray hair, white knuckles
Stop and go, till your threshold buckles
Hot sweats, cold chills,
while that pressure builds
Can of beer, can of beer,
and a fist of pills
Turn a million,
and a high -pitched wheezing
Your heart stops cold,
but your lungs keep breathing
Well, the pines and the apple tree grow
The shadows longer and
the sun is gettin' low
Wouldn't trade those memories
for diamonds or gold
Can't keep leavin' when you're
needin' a home
Wouldn't trade those memories
for dia monds or gold
Can't keep leavin' when
you're needin' a home
Can't keep leavin' when
you're needin' a home
Wouldn't trade those memories
for dia monds or gold
Wouldn't trade those memories
for diamonds or gold
Wouldn't trade those memories
for dia monds or gold
Can't keep leavin' when
you're needin' a home
you
