Independence Day Lyrics - Carrie Underwood

1 Well, she seemed alright by dawn's early light

2 Though she looked a little worried and weak

3 She tried to pretend he wasn't drinkin' again

4 But daddy left the proof on her cheek

5 And I was only eight years old that summer

6 And I always seemed to be in the way

7 So I took myself down to the fair in town

8 On Independence Day

9 Well word gets around in a small, small town

10 They said he was a dangerous man

11 But mama was proud and she stood her ground

12 She knew she was on the losin' end

13 Some folks whispered,some folks talked

14 But everybody looked the other way

15 And when time ran out there was no one about

16 On Independence Day

17 Let freedom ring

18 Let the white dove sing

19 Let the whole world know that today

20 is a day of reckoning

21 Let the weak be strong

22 Let the right be wrong

23 Roll the stone away

24 Let the guilty pay

25 It's Independence Day

26 Well she lit up the sky the 4th of July

27 by the time the fireman came

28 They just put out the flames and took down some names

29 And sent me to the county home

30 Now I ain't sayin' it's right or it's wrong

31 But maybe it's the only way

32 Talk about your revolution

33 It's Independence Day

34 Let freedom ring

35 Let the white dove sing

36 Let the whole world know that today

37 is a day of reckoning

38 let the weak be strong

39 Let the right be wrong

40 Roll the stone away

41 Let the guilty pay

42 On Independence Day
