Lyrics
Copyright 2009
There's a line in the sand
But I'm not sure where to stand
There's evil on either side I choose
Through the desert under the stars
In the backs of armored cars
I've got these same old, heavy machine gun blues
Firefights in the dead of night
Just like Roman candles across the sky
Grow up fast and then you die
Just think of us on the Fourth of July
Cross the field, a barren track
My whole world on my back
Except, it seems, the one damn thing I could use
Long days under the gun
In narrow canyons of the setting sun
It's hard to tell when oblivion's coming for you
Firefights in the dead of night
Just like Roman candles across the sky
You grow up fast and then you die
Just think of us on the Fourth of July
Bring me home in stars and stripes
Look my mother in the eye
Tell her I gave everything I had
Light a candle in the dark
Put up a flag in the park
If I win a medal, just give it to my dad
Tell him, "at least the end came fast
Good memories are the ones that last
We appreciate the sacrifice"
It's one I made for the greater good
It's a risk I understood
A soldier's life is lived on the edge of a knife
Firefights in the dead of night
Just like Roman candles across the sky
Grow up fast and then we die
Just think of me on the Fourth of July
