FOURTH OF JULY

VERSE 1
It was the fourth of July
Was getting ready for a date
Her name was Joanne
I was shaving.

I heard my momma cry out
Thought she was laughing
I ran down the stairs
Found him lying on the floor.

CHORUS
Feels like a dream
Can't be happening to me
Feels so unreal
God help me please.


VERSE 2

Called the doctor
The ambulance came
Siren through the streets
Me in the front seat

The time seemed so slow
At last the hospital
What are we going to do
What are we going to do.

CHORUS

BRIDGE

I grew up that day
Became a man
No father behind
To shelter the world

How fragile is life
How fleeting our time
Every second counts
The only time is now.
