~Well she seemed all right by dawn’s early light
though she looked a little worried and weak
she tried to pretend he wasn’t drinkin’ aagain
but daddy left the proof on her cheek
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 a round 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 losin’ end
Some folks whispered some folks talked
but everybody looked the other way
and when time ran out there was no one about
on indpendence 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 that fourth of july by the time the firemen come they
Just put out the flames and took down some names and send me to the county home
Now I ain’t sayin’ it’s right or it’s wrong but maybe it’s the only way talk
About your revolution it’s indepenednce day
(CHORUS)
-Independence Day, Marina McBride or Carrie Underwood:)
last night was fun, although im a little disrturbed that lauren and i hung out with tony and gavin for hours and actually had a good time lol. but lauren, thank you so much. we had some conversations that were really helpful, and also some that were hilarious but should never be repeated (BoS lol)
going to the fireworks later. hopefully it'll be fun. then i have to go to work tomorrow. it's not that i hate work, it's just that i hate getting 6 hours of sleep 3 times a week in the summer. oh well.
