Hey baby, it's the 4th of July

She's waitin' for me
when I get home from work
oh, but things ain't just the same
She turns out the light
and cries in the dark
won't answer when I call her name

On the stairs I smoke a
cigarette alone
Mexican kids are shootin'
fireworks below
Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July
Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July

She gives me her cheek
when I want her lips
but I don't have the strength to go
On the lost side of town
in a dark apartment
we gave up trying so long ago

On the stairs I smoke a
cigarette alone
Mexican kids are shootin'
fireworks below
Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July
Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July

What ever happened I
apologize
so dry your tears and baby
walk outside, it's the Fourth of July

On the stairs I smoke a
cigarette alone
Mexican kids are shootin'
fireworks below
Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July
Hey baby, Baby take a walk outside

I know...a little premature. I'm jus' gettin' warmed up for one of my favorite holidays. I get a day off work, go to the beach, eat BBQ, blow shit up...WooHoo. Can't wait.

Those words go great with a drink i recently created--The Crabby, Snarky Sangriacat:

Now that the 4th is over, I'm waiting for my Hawaiian Hillbilly neighbors to JUST RUN OUT of explosives! It doesn't bother me directly...but my husbands silly dog is terrified of them and has to cower on our laps when he hears anything. Okay, but he's 50 pounds of scared puppy. Poor dog is so sensitive that I opened a potato salad tub and the noise made by that sent him running for cover!

I hope everyone had a great 4th! We had a early morning wedding to attend at the beach. Then we packed up and went to watch the end of the sailboat races and spent the afternoon watching hula dancers and belly dancers and several bands at Hickam AFB. We even got wedding cake! What a great day! The fireworks display was done with music and was one of the best ever! Of course the better fireworks were all the crabby people in the 45 minute gridlock trying to go home!
