Indpendence 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 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, let the white dove sing

18 Let the whole world know

19 That today is a day of a reckoning

20 Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong

21 Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay

22 It's Independence Day

23 Well, she lit up the sky that 4th of July

24 By the time the fireman come

25 They just put out the flames

26 And took down some names

27 And sent me to the county home

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

29 But maybe it's the only way

30 Talk about your revolution

31 It's Independence Day

32 Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing

33 Let the whole world know

34 That today is a day of a reckoning

35 Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong

36 Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay

37 On Independence Day, roll the stone away

38 It's Independence day
