4th of July

I tried to call you Monday
But you were a country away
I thought you might be sleeping in
Out near Half Moon Bay
And I tried to write you letters
But my ink was running dry
Guess I'll have to wait till summer comes
Meet you on the 4th of July
Guess I’ll have to wait till summer comes
I'll meet you on the 4th of July

Well I sought advice from my elders
Hoping they would be wise
They told me to act patiently
Things would all work out in time
And I tried to write you letters
But my ink it just ran dry
So I dressed in red and white and blue
Ready for the 4th of July
Yeah I dressed in red and white and blue
Ready for the 4th of July

When I'll go
And I’ll meet you on that road
That we know
Yeah I'll meet you when we're home

Well I meant to call you Friday
But my mind was roaming free
Thinking of when we'd sleep ‘til two
Dreaming simultaneously
Yeah we dreamt in shapes and letters
And in ink that never dried
We dreamt in red and white and blue
Just like the 4th of July
Yeah we dreamt in red and white and blue
Just like the 4th of July

When we'll go
And I'll meet you on that road
That we know
Yeah I'll meet you when we're home
