4th Of July Paroles

it's one of my faults that I can't quell my past
I ought to have gotten it gone


Oh, baby, I wonder -
if when you are older -
someday-
you'll wake up
and say, 'My God, I should have told her -
what would it take?
But now here I am and the world's gotten colder
and she's got the river down which I sold her.'

So that's today's memory lane
with all the pathos and pain
another chapter in a book where the chapters are endless
and they're always the same
a verse, then a verse, and refrain

Oh, baby, I wonder - what would it take?
But now here I am and the world's gotten colder
and she's got the river down which I sold her.'
