Independence Day Lyrics

Independence Day lyrics

Well she seemed all right by dawn's early light though she looked a

 little

 worried and weak.  She tried to pretend he wasn't drinking again but

 daddy

 left the proof on her cheek.  and I was only eight years old that summer

 and I always seemed to be in the way so I took myself don to the fair in

 town on independence day.

 

 Well word gets around in a small, small town they said he was a dangerous

 man.  But momma was proud and she stood her ground, she knew she was on

 the

 losing end.  Some folks whispered some folks talked but everybody looked

 the other way and when time ran out there was no one about on

 Independence

 Day.

 

 Chorus:

 

 Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing. Let the whole world know that

 today is a day of reckoning. Let the weak be strong let the right be

 wrong 

 Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay it's independence day. 

  

 Well she lit up the sky that 4th of July  by the time that the firemen

 had

 come.  they just put out the flames and took down some names and sent me

 to

 the county home.  Now I ain't saying that it's right or it's wrong but

 maybe it's the only way Talk about your revolution,  It's independence

 Day

 

 Repeat Chorus

 

 Roll the stone away, It's Independence day.

 

 (Gretchen Peters.)
