It's Independence Day and I'm alone
Trying not to pick up the phone
And call you just to ask how you've been sleeping
I know it's hard on the road
There's fireworks in the field outside of town
All our friends are cheering at the sound
But I'm back by the car keeping my eyes shut
As the flames crash all around
And hey there honey would you write me a
letter I don't need it but I might feel better
I knew we wouldn't last forever
I rode the train up north for a day or two
I watched the gulls fly crying to the blue
Now I'm drowning in all these things
That never used to make me think of you
And hey there honey would you write me a
letter I don't need it but I might feel better
I knew we wouldn't last forever
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh The road will sweep me in its undertow
I'll lean into the wind
and let it blow And letting myself miss you still feels better
than somehow letting go So tell my mama that I'm coming on home
With a suitcase full of dirty clothes To
forget for a while what I've always known
Hey there honey, would you write me a letter?
I don't mean it, but I might feel better
