| [00:09.21] |
Well she seemed all right by dawns early light |
| [00:12.95] |
Though she looked a little worried and weak |
| [00:17.19] |
She tried to pretend he wasn't drinkin' again |
| [00:21.13] |
But daddy left the proof on her cheek |
| [00:24.86] |
And I was only eight years old that summer |
| [00:28.80] |
And I always seemed to be in the way |
| [00:32.92] |
So I took myself down to the fair in town |
| [00:37.35] |
On Independence Day |
| [00:48.11] |
Well word gets around in a small, small town |
| [00:51.78] |
They said he was a dangerous man |
| [00:55.72] |
But mama was proud and she stood her ground |
| [00:59.72] |
She knew she was on the losin' end |
| [01:03.89] |
Some folks whispered and some folks talked |
| [01:08.02] |
But everybody looked the other way |
| [01:11.39] |
And when time ran out there was no one about |
| [01:15.71] |
On Independence Day |
| [01:20.65] |
Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing |
| [01:29.70] |
Let the whole world know that today is a day of reckoning |
| [01:34.13] |
Let let the weak be strong, the right be wrong |
| [01:44.90] |
Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay it's Independence Day |
| [01:58.25] |
Well she lit up the sky that fourth of July |
| [02:02.55] |
By the time that the firemen come |
| [02:06.69] |
They just put out the flames, |
| [02:08.56] |
and took down some names |
| [02:10.93] |
And sent me to the county home |
| [02:14.11] |
Now I ain't sayin' it's right or it's wrong |
| [02:18.86] |
But maybe it's the only way |
| [02:23.04] |
Talk about your revolution |
| [02:24.97] |
It's Independence Day |
| [02:31.65] |
Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing |
| [02:40.63] |
Let the whole world know |
| [02:44.13] |
that today is a day of reckoning |
| [02:46.13] |
Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong |
| [02:55.74] |
Roll the stone away, |
| [02:58.11] |
let the guilty pay it's Independence Day |
| [03:04.16] |
Roll the stone away |
| [03:08.15] |
It's Independence day |
| [03:09.78] |
|
| [03:11.65] |
