I Love You (Runaway Bride) Lyrics

Well she seemed all right by dawn's early light

though she looked a little worried and weak.

She tried to pretend he wasn't drinkin' again

but daddy'd left the proof on her cheek.

And i was only eight years old that summer

and i always seemed to be in the way

so i took myself down to the fair in town

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

but she knew she was on the losin' end.

Some folks whispered and some folks talked

but everybody looked the other way

and when time ran out there was no one about 

on Independence Day.

(CHORUS)

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 the stone away,let the guilty pay

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 took down some names

and send me to the county home.

Now i ain't sayin' it's right or it's wrong

but maybe it's the only way.

Talk about your revolution

it's Independence Day.

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Roll the stone away

it's Independence Day.
