Aimee Mann - Fourth Of July Lyrics
Today's the Fourth of JulyAnother June has gone byAnd when they light up our town I just thinkWhat a waste of gun powder and skyI'm certain I am aloneIn harboring thoughts of our homeIt's one of my faults that I can't quell my pastI ought to have gotten it goneOught to have gotten it...Oh baby, I wonder if when you are olderSomedayYou'll wake up and say "My God I should've told herWhat would it takeBut now here I am and the world's gotten colderAnd she's got the river down which I sold her"So that's today's memory laneWith all of the pathos and painAnother chapter in a bookWhere the chapters are endless and they're always the sameA verse, then a verse and refrainOh baby, I wonder if when you are olderSomedayYou'll wake up and say "My God I should've told herWhat would it takeBut now here I am and the world's gotten colderAnd she's got the river down which I sold herShe's got the river down which I sold her"
