Song Lyrics

This is how my 4th of July went
Five o'clock rolled around and my money was spent
There was nothin' a fella could do
But sit in his yard and watch his neighbor's fireworks
They weren't half bad

It's true the neighbor's fireworks weren't half bad
But my head full of loneliness left me feeling sad
So I tried to start my car, realized I was out of gas
On a day like that day, the world spins too fast

There will always be taxes
The Earth still spins on its axis
When the trees and the grasses
Are as brown as molasses
You know that the 4th of July is here

This is how my 4th of July went
My loneliness caused me to go to this lame pageant
Sometimes I wonder what judges are for
They don't even know how to keep score
Well, they must've been on drugs 'cause the only one fit to win
Already won the year before
But she played it very cool, she wasn't sad
'Cause how her 4th of July went wasn't half bad

There will always be taxes
The Earth still spins on its axis
And I will always love you

Well I guess that Halloween is almost here
Maybe I'll stay at home again like I did last year
