Well she
seemed alright by dawn’s early light
Though she
looked a little worried and weak
She tried to
pretend he 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
But mama was
proud and she stood her ground
She knew she
was on the losing end
Some folks
whispered,some folks talked
But
everybody looked the other way
And when
time ran out there was no was about
On
Independence Day
Let freedom
ring
Let the
white dove sing
Let the
whole world know that today
is a day of
reckoning
Let the weak
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 the 4th of July
by the time
that the fireman came
They just
put out the flames and took down some names
And sent me
to the county home
Now I ain’t
saying it’s right or it’s wrong
But maybe
it’s the only way
Talk about
your revolution
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 weak
be strong
Let the
right be wrong
Roll the
stone away
Let the
guilty pay
It’s
Independence Day
