4th Of July lyrics

Today s the fourth of July
another June has gone by
and when they light up our town I just think
what a waste of gunpowder and sky
I m certain that I am alone
in harbouring thoughts of our home
it s one of my faults that I can t quell my past
I ought to have gotten it gone
        Oh, baby, I wonder - if when you are older -
        someday-
        you ll wake up
        and say, My God, I should have told her -
        what would it take?
        But now here I am and the world s gotten colder
        and she s got the river down which I sold her.
So that s today s memory lane
with all the pathos and pain
another chapter in a book where the chapters are
endless
and they re always the same
a verse, then a verse, and refrain
        Oh, baby, I wonder - if when you are older -
        someday-
        you ll wake up
        and say, My God, I should have told her -
        what would it take?
        But now here I am and the world s gotten colder
        and she s got the river down which I sold her.
