Fourth of July

[AustinBadger]

In honor of this week, one of the most underappreciated songs. Penned by David Alvin, and played originally by his band 'X', and covered very well by Robert Earl Keen......'Fourth of July':

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

 

[Uncle Rico]

what are we supposed to be celebrating anyway?

speaking of, do they celebrate july 4th in england? i figure they have nothing better to do than to reflect on how we kicked their asses out of here about 225+ years ago.
