Fourth Of July Lyrics - King Of California - 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 

(same as first verse) 

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
