Carrie Underwood : Independence Day Lyrics

. Send "Independence Day" Ringtone to your Cell .
Well she seemed all right by dawn's early light
Though she looked a little worried and weak
She tried to pretend he wasn't drinkin' again
But daddy left the proof on her cheek

And I was only eight years old that summer
And I always seemed to be in the way
So, I took myself down to the fair in town
On Independence Day

Well word gets around in a small, small town
They said he was a dangerous man
Mama was proud and she stood her ground
She knew she was on the losin' end

Some folks whispered some folks talked
But everybody looked the other way
When time ran out there was no one about
On Independence Day

Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today is a day of reckoning
Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay, it's Independence Day

Well she lit up the sky that fourth of July
By the time that the firemen come
They just put out the flames and took down some names
And sent me to the county home

Now, I ain't sayin' it's right or it's wrong
But maybe it's the only way
Talk about your revolution
It's the Independence Day

Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today is a day of reckoning
Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay, it's Independence Day
Roll the stone away, it's Independence Day

    I like this song but let me say something. Ok it says "she lit up the sky that 4th of july" in other word she set the house on fire to kill her husband. practicly the same thing happens in the song gun powder and lead. but thee is a song called and the tunder rolls. i belive it's by tim magraw but i'm not sure. anyways in the end of the origanal version the wife kills the husband for cheating like in this song. but they wouldn't let him relase that version on the radio. then a few weeks later this song by carrie came out and it was [played on the radio. please just thing about how strange that is.
