Pat's Morning Shining Hour (Extended 2)

Verse 1

Coffee's on at five oh three

Pat's already got one foot out the door

Kicking grass out in the yard

Waiting on the daylight to pour

Six fifteen rolls around

He grabs his paper and he heads on in

That ol' shed out by the fence

Is where his whole day begins

Chorus

Six fifteen and Pat's on the throne

Takin' his time out there alone

Porch light buzzin', roosters crowin'

Down at the end of the lane he's goin'

Six fifteen got a full review

Just sittin' here with nothin' to do

Yeah that's Pat's two a.m., his midnight moon

Six fifteen sittin' on the throne

Verse 2

Door swings shut and latches tight

Peace and quiet, that's the rule

Magazine on the shelf beside

A box of matches, an old barstool

Whole works hums a lowdown tune

Singing sweetly through the dust

He comes out with a grin wide

Like a man who's done a day's worth

Chorus

Six fifteen and Pat's on the throne

Takin' his time out there alone

Porch light buzzin', roosters crowin'

Down at the end of the lane he's goin'

Six fifteen got a full review

Just sittin' here with nothin' to do

Yeah that's Pat's two a.m., his midnight moon

Six fifteen sittin' on the throne

Bridge

Sun'll come up when it comes up good

Pat's on a schedule you can't rewind

Ain't no rush in this neighborhood

Just a man and a little peace of mind

Chorus

Six fifteen and Pat's on the throne

Takin' his time out there alone

Porch light buzzin', roosters crowin'

Down at the end of the lane he's goin'

Six fifteen got a full review

Just sittin' here with nothin' to do

Yeah that's Pat's two a.m., his midnight moon

Six fifteen sittin' on the throne

Verse 3

Neighbors wave when they drive by

They know the routine all too well

He ain't missin' one sunrise

Long as that paper tells the tale

Chorus

Six fifteen and Pat's on the throne

Takin' his time out there alone

Porch light buzzin', roosters crowin'

Down at the end of the lane he's goin'

Six fifteen got a full review

Just sittin' here with nothin' to do

Yeah that's Pat's two a.m., his midnight moon

Six fifteen sittin' on the throne

Post-Chorus

Ooh-oo, ooh-oo, sittin' on the throne

Ooh-oo, ooh-oo, he ain't comin' home

Ooh-oo, ooh-oo, 'til he's good and done

Six fifteen, that's his kingdom come

Verse 4

Rodeo clown calls Pat the king

Of the quiet corner by the shed

Says he's got a golden hour thing

That beats any beer and bed

Cold one waitin' in the truck

For when the mission's through

He's got a system, he ain't stuck

Just a cowboy and his settle-down stew

Chorus

Six fifteen and Pat's on the throne

Takin' his time out there alone

Porch light buzzin', roosters crowin'

Down at the end of the lane he's goin'

Six fifteen got a full review

Just sittin' here with nothin' to do

Yeah that's Pat's two a.m., his midnight moon

Six fifteen sittin' on the throne

Post-Chorus

Ooh-oo, ooh-oo, sittin' on the throne

Ooh-oo, ooh-oo, he ain't comin' home

Ooh-oo, ooh-oo, 'til he's good and done

Six fifteen, that's his kingdom come

Bridge

City folks all want the fancy

Seven hundred square feet of tile

Pat just pays his ten bucks monthly

And wears his easy, satisfied smile

Outro

Yeah six fifteen, don't you knock

Pat's got the whole world on park

Sun comes up, he cracks the door

Same ol' show tomorrow, that's for sure

Six fifteen, sittin' on the throne

(On the throne)

Six fifteen, sittin' on the throne

(On the throne)

Yeah, sittin' on the throne
