Lyrics:Gretchen Peters Music:Gretchen Peters
Well she seemed all right by dawns early light
Though she looked a little worried and week
She tried to pretend she wasn't drinkin' again
But daddy left the proof on her cheek
And I was only eight years old that summer
And I always seemed to be in the way
So I took myself down to the fair in town
On Independence Day
Well word gets around in a small, small town
They said he was a dangerous man
Mama was proud and she stood her ground
But she knew she was on the losin' end
Some folks whispered and some folks talked
But everybody looked the other way
And when time ran out there was no one about
On Independence Day
(CHORUS)
Let freedom ring, Let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today is a day of reckoning
Let the week be strong, let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay
It's Independence Day
Well she lit up the sky that fourth of July
By the time that the firemen come
They just put out the flames, and took down some names
And sent me to the county home
Now I ain't sayin' it's right or it's wrong
But maybe its the only way
Talk about your revolution
It's Independence Day
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Roll the stone away
It's Independence day

Let freedom ring, Let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today is a day of reckoning
Let the week be strong, let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay
It' s Independence Day
Well she lit up the sky that fourth of July
By the time that the firemen come
They just put out the flames, and took down some names
And sent me to the county home
Now I ain' t sayin' it' s right or it' s wrong
But maybe its the only way
Talk about your revolution
It' s Independence Day
REPEAT CHORUS
Roll the stone away
It' s Independence day
