Fourth Of July

Today's the Fourth of July
Another June has gone by
And when they light up our town I just think
What a waste of gun powder and sky
I'm certain I am alone
In harboring thoughts of our home
It's one of my faults that I can't quell my past
I ought to have gotten it gone
Ought to have gotten it...
Oh baby, I wonder if when you are older
Someday
You'll wake up and say "My God I should've told her
What would it take
But now here I am and the world's gotten colder
And she's got the river down which I sold her"
So that's today's memory lane
With all of the pathos and pain
Another chapter in a book
Where the chapters are endless and they're always the same
A verse, then a verse and refrain
Oh baby, I wonder if when you are older
Someday
You'll wake up and say "My God I should've told her
What would it take
But now here I am and the world's gotten colder
And she's got the river down which I sold her
She's got the river down which I sold her"
