Lyrics
Fourth Of July
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She's waiting for me when I get home from work
But things just ain't the same
She turns out the light and cries in the dark
Won't answer when I call her name
On the stairs I smoke a cigarette alone
The mexican kids are shooting fireworks below
Hey, baby, it's the fourth of july
Hey, baby, it's the fourth of july
She gives me her cheek when I want her lips
And I don't have the strength to go
On the lost side of town in a dark apartment
We gave up trying so long ago
Whatever happened, I apologize
So dry your tears and baby, walk outside
It's the fourth of july
