 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

We drove the car 
To the top of the parking ramp 
4th of July 
Sat out on the hood 
With a couple of warm beers 
And watched the fireworks 
Explode in the sky 
There was an exodus of birds from the trees 
'Cause they didn't know 
We were only pretending 
And the people all looked up and looked pleased 
And the birds flew around 
Like the whole world was ending 
I don't think war is noble 
And I don't like to think love is like war 
But I got a big hot cherry bomb 
And I want to slip it through the mail slot 
Of your front door 
You can't leave me here 
I got your back now 
You'd better have mine 
'Cause you say the coast is clear 
But you say that all the time 
So many sheep I quit counting 
Sleepless and embarrassed 
About the way that I feel 
Trying to make mole hills out of mountains 
Building base camp at the bottom 
Of a really big deal 
Did I ever tell you how I stopped eating 
When you stopped calling me 
I was cramped up 
And shitting rivers for weeks 
And pretending that I was finally free 
You can't leave me here 
I got your back now 
You'd better have mine 
'Cause you say the coast is clear 
But you say that all the time 
We drove the car 
To the top of the parking ramp 
4th of July 
I planted my dusty boots on the bumper 
Sat out on the hood 
And looked up at the sky
