Fourth of July

She's waiting for me when I get home from work Oh, but things just ain't the same She turns out the lights and she cries in the dark Won't answer when I call her name On the stairs I smoke a cigarette alone Mexican kids are shooting fireworks below Hey, baby, it's the fourth of July Hey, baby, it's the fourth of July It's the fourth of July She gives me her cheek when I want her lips And I don't have the strength to go On the lost side of town in a dark apartment We gave up trying so long ago On the stairs I smoke a cigarette alone The Mexican kids are shooting fireworks below Hey, baby, it's the fourth of July Hey, baby, it's the fourth of July Whatever happened, I apologize So dry your tears and baby, walk outside It's the fourth of July On the stairs I smoke a cigarette alone Mexican kids are shooting fireworks below And hey, baby, it's the fourth of July Hey, baby, it's the fourth of July We forgot all about the fourth of July Hey, baby, it's the fourth of July Hey, baby, it's the fourth of July Hey baby, hey baby, hey baby
