Aimee Mann - 4th of July
Today's the 4th of July Another June has gone by And when they light up our town I just think: What a waste of gunpowder and sky I'm certain that I am alone In harboring thoughts of our home It's one of my faults That I can't quell my past I ought to have gotten it gone Oh, baby, I wonder If when you are older someday You'll wake up and say My God, I should have told her! What would it take? But now I am here, and The world's gotten colder And she's got the river Down which I sold her... So that's today's memory lane With all the pathos and pain Another chapter in a book Where the chapters are endless And they're always the same A verse, then a verse And refrain |
