Five o'clock in the morning
Up before I closed my eyes
New day dawning
It was the Fourth of July
Now the walls were cryin'
She never thought I'd call that bluff
And I've been so tired of tryin'
Seems like I'm never enough
Nothing left for me to do
Nothing left to say
I'm looking down that lonesome avenue
Independence Day
Looking over my shoulder
See the world I'm leaving behind
Never once more to hold her
Never more that moment in time
'Cause I've been fallin' under
I've got to keep rollin' along
And I can't help but wonder
How can one man be so wrong
Nothin' left for me to do
Nothin' more to say
That freedom bell that rang so true
On Independence Day
Now the highway's hummin'
Seven hundred miles to go
There's a new day comin'
What lies ahead, I really don't know
But there's the ease of a comfort
Where the heart can tell no lies
A world where nothin'
Nothin' ever fades or dies
Fireworks blazin' in the sky
When I think about her, I wonder why
Raisin' my flag anew
Leave behind the red and blue
On Independence Day
Independence Day... Independence Day
