Independence Day Lyrics by American Aquarium

Slappers, Bangers & Certified Twangers, Vol. 2

2021

[Verse 1]
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 drinkin' again
But daddy left the proof on her cheek
I was only eight years old that summer
And always seemed to be in the way
So I took myself down to the fair in town
On Independence Day

[Verse 2]
Well word gets around in a small, small town
They said he was a dangerous man
But mama was proud and she stood her ground
She knew she was on the losin' end
Yeah somе folks whispered, some folks talkеd
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 the day of reckoning
Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong
Roll that stone away, let the guilty pay, it's Independence Day

[Verse 3]
Well she lit up that sky that fourth of July
By the time that the firemen come
They just put out the flames and they took down some names
And sent me to the county home
Now, I ain't sayin' it's right or it's wrong
But maybe it's the only way
Talk about your revolution
It's Independence Day

[Chorus]
Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today is the day of reckoning
Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong
Roll that stone away, let the guilty pay, it's Independence Day

[Outro]
Roll that stone away
It's Independence Day
