Independence Day from Terrible News by Dr. Emeritus

Darling, she said
My love has gone dead
On that fourth of July
I begged her to stay
She turned, walked away
I grabbed me a drink and I started to cry

I followed her down
To a house across town
On that fourth of July
Before they could run
I went for my gun
Put four in her chest
And put one in his eye

Oh whoa, save my soul
Run with the Devil below
Oh whoa, save my soul
Gave it all up, God don't want me
No more

I ran to my car
And drove off afar
On that fourth of July
I crossed the state lines
Red and blue lights behind
Those pigs chased me down
For my terrible crime

The policeman said son
Please give me your gun
On that fourth of July
Drew the knife from my coat
Cut open his throat
Shoved him to the dirt and I
Left him to die

Oh whoa, save my soul
Run with the Devil below
Oh whoa, save my soul
Gave it all up, God don't want me
No more

I found a new place
Changed my name and my face
on that fourth of July
Soon the winter came
And still no one to blame
For the three lives lost
From my anger and pride

Now the days have turned to years
And I haven't shed a tear
Since that fourth of July
I'm still on the run
And I have a new gun
For the next girl who tricks me
And cheats me
And lies

Oh whoa, save my soul
Run with the Devil below
Oh whoa, save my soul
Gave it all up, God don't want me
No more
Oh whoa, save my soul
Run with the Devil below
Oh whoa, save my soul
Gave it all up, God don't want me
No more
Gave it all up, God don't want me
No more
Gave it all up, God don't want me
No more
