Happy Fourth

I have been singing this song in my head all day long.

We drove the car to the top of the parking ramp,
Fourth of July
We sat out on the hood, a couple of warm beers and watched the fireworks explode in the sky
And 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.
And I, 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 wanna slip it through the mail slot of your front door.
Now you can't leave me here.
I got your back now you better have mine
But 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 molehills out of mountains,
Building base camp at the bottom of a really big deal.
And did I ever tell you how I stopped eating
when you stopped calling me?
And I was cramped up, shitting rivers for weeks and pretending I was finally free

Now you can't leave me here.
Now that you're back you better stay this time
Cause you said the coast is clear
But you say that all the time

We drove the car to the top of the parking ramp
Fourth of July
I planted my dusty boots on the bumper
Sat out on the hood
And looked up at the sky.
