  • Today's the fourth of July
    Another June has gone by
    And when they light up our town I just think
    What a waste of gunpowder and sky
    I'm certain that I am alone
    In harboring thoughts of our home
    It's one of my faults that I can't quell my past
    I ought to have gotten it gone

    Oh, baby, I wonder
    If when you are older
    Someday-
    You'll wake up
    And say, 'my god, I should have told her
    What would it take?
    But now here I am and the world's gotten colder
    And she's got the river down which I sold her.'

    So that's today's memory lane
    With all the pathos and pain
    Another chapter in a book where the chapters are endless
    And they're always the same
    A verse, then a verse, and refrain

    Oh, baby, I wonder
    If when you are older
    Someday
    You'll wake up
    And say, 'my god, I should have told her
    What would it take?
    But now here I am and the world's gotten colder
    And she's got the river down which I sold her Publisher: Downtown Music Publishing
