Robert Earl Keen - Fourth of July lyrics

She's waiting for me when I get home from work But things just ain't the same She turns out the light and cries in the dark 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 She gives me her cheek when I want her 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 Whatever happened, I apologize So dry your tears and baby, walk outside It's the Fourth of July 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
