Alone with the morning burnin' red 
On the canvas in my head 
Painting a picture of you and me 
Driving across country 
In a dusty old RV 
Just the road and it's majesty 
And I'm lookin' at you with the world in the rear-view 

You were pretty as can be sittin' in the front seat 
Lookin' at me, tellin' me you love me 
And you're happy to be with me on the Fourth of July 
We sang "Stranglehold" 'til stereo 
Couldn't take no more of that rock 'n' roll 
So we put on a little George Jones and just sang along 

Those white lines can drone into the sun 
If you ain't got no one to keep you hangin' on 
But there you were like a queen in your night gown 
Ridin' shotgun from town to town 
Staking a claim on the world we found 

And I'm singin' to you, you're singin' to me 
You were out of the blue to a boy like me 

You were pretty as can be sittin' in the front seat 
Lookin' at me, tellin' me you love me 
And you're happy to be with me on the Fourth of July 
We sang "Stranglehold" 'til stereo 
Couldn't take no more of that rock 'n' roll 
So we put on a little George Jones and just sang along
Sang along

And I'm lookin' for you and the silence that we shared

You were pretty as can be sittin' in the front seat 
Lookin' at me, tellin' me you love me 
And you're happy to be with me on the Fourth of July 
We sang "Stranglehold" 'til stereo 
Couldn't take no more of that rock 'n' roll 
So we put on a little George Jones and just sang along
Sang along

He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
Soon they'll carry him away
But he stopped loving her today

(When, when do you, when, when we don't get paid for this you're right)
