Fourth Of July

Dave Alvin

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

Chorus 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

Repeat Chorus

Whatever happened,

I apologize

So dry your tears and baby, walk outside

It's the Fourth of

July Repeat

Chorus
