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 |
