4th Of July (Album Version)

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

I 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
