Fourth Of July Lyrics - Singles - Pete Droge

Like you I've been hurt, seen my face in the dirt 

But I never reacted like you 

The last time we met, you seemed so upset 

When you left town you did not say bye 

Then I heard, you'd been seen way down in Eugene 

Working as a factory slave 

And though the life that you took came from no storybook 

You spent it before it was saved 

On the Fourth of July 

Is a good day to die 

They'll celebrate each year 

Your independence from here 

If you only had just a glimmer of hope 

Then I know you'd have done some great things 

But you tossed out your gift and it's making me wish 

I'd been there when you found yourself down 

But you turned to no one but a bullet and a gun 

And the bang blended in with the day 

And I sit here and think 

It still hurts me to think of the sad songs we used to play 

On the Fourth of July 

See the sparks in the sky 

When you're sick of the trying 

and you're tired of the crying 

Then the Fourth of July 

Is a good day to die 

They'll celebrate each year 

Your independence from here
