Third Of July Lyrics - John Prine

It was the third of july on a cool cloudy sky 

I set in for a storm in the makin' 

I relaxed as I sat up in our three room flat 

While my wife was in the kitchen bakin' 

Thoughts passed through my mind of no special kind 

Like faces that look like the others 

Tomorrow they say is independence day 

And I guess I'll go eat at my brother's 

I believe that a thought has just gotten caught 

In a place where words can't surround it 

It concerns the years past and the shadows they cast 

And my path as I walk around it.
