Dave Alvin
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
