"Fourth Of July" lyrics

It's the Fourth of July
Play that TK Song
Slice an apple pie
Buy a cherry bomb
Go light it off on your front lawn
In the name of freedom

The house next door
Looks like no one's home
But there's a man inside chilled to the bone
Medals on the wall
He got from a warzone
In the name of freedom

Everybody's back in town
But he's back in time
A bottle in his hand
Bottle rockets in the sky
Sounds like a battle
Bombs outside
He's pouring up another hanging on for dear life
If you'd been where he's been
You wouldn't ask why
He's drinking a fifth
On the Fourth of July

He loves his country
Hell he fought for it
But he's back to fighting
When that fuse gets lit
He ain't gonna yell
At the neighborhood kids
Someone who would've died for us
Shouldn't have to live like this

Everybody's back in town
But he's back in time
A bottle in his hand
Bottle rockets in the sky
Sounds like a battle
Bombs outside
He's pouring up another hanging on for dear life
If you'd been where he's been
You wouldn't ask why
He's drinking a fifth
On the Fourth of July

Foxhole memories
And folded flag friends
Those flashing lights
On summer nights
Are flashbacks for him
Yeah whiskey numbs the pain
But don't make him forget it
But just cause it hurts
Don't mean he regrets it

Everybody's back in town
But he's back in time
A bottle in his hand
Bottle rockets in the sky
Sounds like a battle
Bombs outside
He's pouring up another hanging on for dear life
If you'd been where he's been
You wouldn't ask why
He's drinking a fifth
On the Fourth of July
