4th Of July Lyrics

Artist: X

She's waitin' for me
when I get home from work
oh, but things ain't just the same
She turns out the light
and cries in the dark
won't answer when I call her name

On the stairs I smoke a
cigarette alone
Mexican kids are shootin'
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
but 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

On the stairs I smoke a
cigarette alone
Mexican kids are shootin'
fireworks below
Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July
Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July

What ever happened I
apologize
so dry your tears and baby
walk outside, it's the Fourth of July

On the stairs I smoke a
cigarette alone
Mexican kids are shootin'
fireworks below
Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July
Hey baby, Baby take a walk outside

by Mick Smith on 3/7/2012 8:13am I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH BUTT HATE AMERICA GO IRAQ
by Mike Ryba on 7/4/2012 1:20pm While this is an excellent song and X does it justice, it is but a cover. The original artist and writer is Dave Alvin, but he does play guitar on the version by X.
by Ross on 7/10/2012 7:06pm You guys are all dimwits. Sun Valley, CA to Wind Gap, Pa is a multi day journey. No one could possibly sing the song the whole journey. Mick Smith is just a dimwit...he can't even spell but. How can a tune be a cover if the writer and guitarist are the original? You guys should lay of the crack and smoke more weed.
by Guy on 11/1/2012 10:41pm What the hell is this song suppose to be about? It makes no efing sense. What the hell do mexican kids have to do with it?
by downeyman on 2/28/2013 11:11pm The song is about a guy who lives in an apartment house, its the fourth of July and he isnt happy in his relationship. Since it is the fourth of July and he lives in an apartment house (There is a mexican family also living there) there are fireworks being shot off in the parking lot and he is having a cigarette on the porch. Not all that hard to figure out. Check out the original video on you tube. It's an amazing song by an amazing songwriter (Dave Alvin). Dave and his brother Phil formed The Blasters before Dave went off on his own and joined X.
