On the 4th of July

歌詞

Shall I tell it again how we started as friends Who would run into one another now and again At the Yippee Cai O or the Mesa Dupree Or a dozen different everyday places to be I was loping along living alone We were ever so brave on the telephone Would you care to come down for fireworks time We could each just reach We step out of line And the smell of the smoke and the lay of the land and the feeling of finding one's heart in one's hand and the tiny tin voice of the radio band singing "love must stand" Love forever and ever must stand Unbelievable you, impossible me The fool who fell out of the family tree The fellow that found the philosopher's stone Deep underground like a dinosaur bone Who fell into you at a quarter to two With a tear in your eye for the Fourth of July For the patriots and the minutemen And the things you believe they believed in then Such as freedom, and freedom's land And the kingdom of God and the rights of man With the tiny tin voice of the radio band Singing "love must stand" Love forever and ever must stand And forever must stand Oh the smell of the smoke as we lay on the land And the feeling of finding my heart in my hand With the tiny, tin voice of the radio band Singing "love must stand" Love forever and ever must stand. All on the Fourth of July On the Fourth of July
