Lyrics 4th of July - The Bronx, Dave Alvin

4th of July

She’s waiting for me when I get home from work
But the things just ain’t the same
She turns out the light and she cries in the dark
She won’t answer when I call her name
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
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
The Mexican kids are shooting fireworks below
Hey, baby, it’s the Fourth of July
Hey, baby, it’s the Fourth of July
Whatever happened, I apologize
So dry your tears now baby and walk outside
It’s the Fourth of July
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
Hey, baby, it’s the Fourth of July
Hey, baby, it’s the Fourth of July
It’s the Fourth of July
It’s the Fourth of July
Let’s take a walk outside now, baby
It’s the Fourth of July
