I was only eight years old that summer

And I always seemed to be in the way

On Independence Day 

Well, word gets around in a small, small town 
They said he was a dangerous man 
But Mama was proud and she stood her ground 
She knew she was on the losing end 
Some folks whispered, some folks talked 
But everybody looked the other way 
And when time ran out, there was no one about

It's Independence Day 

Well, she lit up the sky that Fourth of July 
By the time that the firemen come 
They just put out the flames and they took down some names 
And sent me to the county home 
Now I ain't saying it's right or it's wrong 
But maybe it's the only way 
Talk about your revolution 
It's Independence Day 
Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing 
Let the whole world know that today is a day of reckoning 
Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong 
Roll that stone away, let the guilty pay
