So quiet 'round here this morning I guess everyone got away for the weekend I wish I was one of those Packin' up my summer clothes Headin' down to the sea to watch the stars I barely remember the fight last night I had one last chance that I just threw away I wish to God I'd just said no 'Cause by now, you never know I got my wish on Independence Day Oh It's red, white, and blue Starin' at me, starin' at you And I'm red-eyed and blue Thinkin' about him, thinkin' about you If I can stay awake until the sunset I hear the fireworks are quite a sight I drink a few icy beers even though that's what got me here I promise to become a better man And I know you must be hurtin' Stuck between a rock and a hard place I wish I'd never let you go And I probably shouldn't tell you so But I got my wish on Independence Day Oh And that red, white, and blue Starin' at me, starin' at you And I'm red-eyed and blue Thinkin' about him, thinkin' about you And I spend hours just waiting Sky turns from blue to red to black I've never felt this much alone As to hear those far out bombs explode And hope all night that you might call me back And just like that it was over Life goes on despite the blood and tears No way you're gettin' back Just need to face the facts That you gave up on Independence Day You gave up on Independence Day And that red, white, and blue Starin' at me, Starin' at you And I'm red-eyed and blue Thinkin' about him, thinkin' about you Thinkin' about him, looking at you Thinkin' about him, being with you
