Well, she seemed alright
By dawn's early light
Though she looked 0 Me

Worried a nd wea k
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 memo was proud
And she stood her ground

She knew she was on
The Iosin' end
Some folks whispered
Some folks talked

Buf everybody looked
The other way
And when time ran out

There was no one about
On Independence Day
Lef freedom ring
Let the whiie 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

Ith Independence Day
Well, she lit up the sky

That fourth of July
By the time

The fire men come
They iusf put ou1 the flames
And took down

Some names
And sent me to
The county home
Now I ain't soyin'

HJs right or it's wrong
But maybe it's the only way
Just folk a bout

Your revolution
It's Independence Day
Lef freedom ring
Let the whiie 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

Ith Independence Day
Roll the stone away

Ifs Independence Day
