She's waiting for me when I get home from work
Ahh, but things just ain't the same
She turns out the light and cries in the dark
She won't answer when I call her name 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
It's the Fourth of July She gives me her cheek but I want her the 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
It's the Fourth of July Whatever happened, I apologize
So dry your tears, baby, walk outside Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July
Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July
Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July We forgot all about the Fourth of July
