4th of July

She's waitin' for me

when I get home from work

oh, but things ain't just 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

Mexican kids are shootin'

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

but 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

Mexican kids are shootin'

fireworks below

Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July

Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July

What ever happened I

apologize

so dry your tears and baby

walk outside, it's the Fourth of July

On the stairs I smoke a

cigarette alone

Mexican kids are shootin'

fireworks below

Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July

Hey baby, Baby take a walk outside
