Pete Droge - Hampton Inn Room 306 Lyrics
Like you I've been hurt, seen my face in the dirt, but I never reacted like youThe last time we met, you seemed so upset, when you left town you did not say byeThen I heard you'd been seen way down in Eugene, working as a factory slaveAnd though the life that you took came from no storybook, you spent it before it wassaved.On the fourth of JulyIs a good day to dieThey'll celebrate each yearYour independence from here.If you only had just a glimmer of hope, then I know you'd have done some great thingsBut you tossed out your gift, and it's making me wish, I'd been there when you foundyourself downBut you turned to no one but a bullet and a gun, and the bang blended in with the dayAnd I sit here and think, it still hurts me to think of the sad songs we used to play.On the fourth of JulySee the sparks in the skyWhen you're sick of the tryingand you're tired of the cryingThen the fourth of JulyIs a good day to dieThey'll celebrate each yearYour independence from here...
