about

The wake-up call. On the fourth of July.

lyrics

Crazy Jane made her mother cry,
Melt down on the fourth of July
Slammed that door, didn't say goodbye
She was long gone on the fourth of July

She was a party child, it was party time. She had...
big plans for the fourth of July
She could steal your man, she could steal your life
no fool is safe on the fourth of July

Now, downtown they were gettin in line,
ice cold beer, take a slice of lime,
pig on a pole, corn in a pile
let your pepper cool, let your chicken fry

Momma sings, your baby cry
Papa sit back, he said "nighty night"
Too much sugar, the kids run wild
All hell broke loose on the fourth of july

Everybodys dancin in the street
Your brother had too much to eat
you know your cousin is the one to beat
but you can't be sure the victory is sweet

Catch a cold, catch a cough, catch a piece of behind
They yell, "Take it off!" on the fourth of July
She got your key, got your car, got your wink of an eye
Got some sweet talk on the fourth of July

She could drink she could drive, she could kick a bee hive
Test fate on the fourth of july
She cut left but she should'a cut right
Got a "need to know" on the fourth of July

You should have seen the look upon her face
Every day she'd be riding her daddy's case
He said, "I can't wait until you leave this place"
and then she was gone, she left without a trace

He stopped to see a marching band
Veteran only got one hand
For all these things he gives this land
What do we give back to this man

Things you gained, the things you lost
simple things at such a cost
these precious things that can't be bought
what it really means, you can't be taught

I just pray I can open up my eyes
in time to understand the lies
It's a holiday, you wonder why
You got your wake up call on the fourth of July
