Fourth Of July

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

Chorus

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

Repeat chorus

Whatever happened, i apologize
So dry your tears and baby, walk outside
It's the fourth of july

Repeat chorus
