Lyrics
And when time ran out there was no one about, well she lit up the sky that fourth of july
and i was only eight years old that summer
but daddy left the proof on her cheek
and took down some names
Now i ain t sayin it s right or it s wrong, let the right be wrong
But maybe it s the only way, and when time ran out there was no one about Day, so i took myself down to the fair in town
Well she seemed all right by dawn s early light, they just put out the flames, and when time ran out there was no one about
And took down some names, let the right be wrong
and i always seemed to be in the way
But everybody looked the other way, so i took myself down to the fair in town, roll the stone away
Though she looked a little worried and weak, independence day
and i was only eight years old that summer
Well she seemed all right by dawn s early light, she tried to pretend he wasn t drinkin again
Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong
let the right be wrong
And i was only eight years old that summer, so i took myself down to the fair in town
on independence day
Roll the stone away, and when time ran out there was no one about
On independence day, on independence day
They just put out the flames, but daddy left the proof on her cheek
On independence day, some folks whispered and some folks talked
And i always seemed to be in the way, but she knew she was on the losin end, and i was only eight years old that summer
and when time ran out there was no one about
Let the right be wrong, but she knew she was on the losin end
she tried to pretend he wasn t drinkin again
Let freedom ring, talk about your revolution
But daddy left the proof on her cheek, talk about your revolution
And i was only eight years old that summer, well word gets a round in a small
They said he was a dangerous man, so i took myself down to the fair in town
Some folks whispered and some folks talked, they said he was a dangerous man, let freedom ring
but everybody looked the other way
Let the guilty pay, let the wight dove sing McBride, so i took myself down to the fair in town
and send me to the county home
she tried to pretend he wasn t drinkin again
On independence day, well she seemed all right by dawn s early light, let the right be wrong
well word gets a round in a small
talk about your revolution
And when time ran out there was no one about, some folks whispered and some folks talked, talk about your revolution
on independence day
And send me to the county home, let the guilty pay McBride, and send me to the county home
let the wight dove sing
let the guilty pay
But everybody looked the other way, talk about your revolution
Roll the stone away, let freedom ring, but daddy left the proof on her cheek
And took down some names, by the time that the firemen come Independence, on independence day
And i always seemed to be in the way, and send me to the county home Martina, independence day
Some folks whispered and some folks talked, independence day, and when time ran out there was no one about
Well she lit up the sky that fourth of july, now i ain t sayin it s right or it s wrong
But daddy left the proof on her cheek, they said he was a dangerous man
And when time ran out there was no one about, she tried to pretend he wasn t drinkin again
Mama was proud and she stood her ground, roll the stone away
well she lit up the sky that fourth of july
but she knew she was on the losin end
And send me to the county home, though she looked a little worried and weak, and send me to the county home
they said he was a dangerous man
and i always seemed to be in the way
But maybe it s the only way, mama was proud and she stood her ground, they said he was a dangerous man
