Independence Day

Well she seemed all right by dawns early

Light though she looked a little

Worried and weak she tried to pretend

He wasnt drinkin aagain 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 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

Its 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 aint sayin its right or its wrong

But maybe its the only way talk

About your revolution its indepenednce 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

Its independence day

The Stone Away

It's independence day
