4th of July

She's waiting for me when I get home from work

But things just ain't the same

She turns out the lights and she cries in the dark

She 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

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

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

Whatever happened

I uh, I apologize

So dry your tears now baby

Walk outside

It's the Fourth of July

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

Hey, baby, it's the Fourth of July

Hey, baby, it's the Fourth of July

It's the Fourth of July

It's the Fourth of July

Let's take a walk outside now, baby

It's the Fourth of July
