And said "It's time to leave!"
So they jumped into the old Caprice
And tore off into the night
On the 4th of July
They flew through the darkness
Driving like Jehu
And they rolled into Ottumwa
Before the sun began to rise
On the 4th of July
In walks Bob and Janice
Rachel's on her way
To peek in through the window
Hoping to hear her grandson cry
On the 4th of July
My mother watched the fireworks
From her hospital bed
And after it was all over
She held me for the first time
On the 5th of July
I've got my mother’s brown eyes
And my dad’s quiet way
And Grandma Rachel’s love of music
The morning I arrived
On the 5th of July
Deep in Iowa country
In a Heavenly Hideaway
On the shores of Lake Rathbun
My folks brought me home
On the 5th of July
And that was when
Life began for me
And that was when
Life began for me
A teacher and a mechanic
Brought me into this world
They loved me with all their hearts
Since the day I opened my eyes
On the 5th of July
And that was when
Life began for me
And that was when
Life began for me
My mom woke my dad up And said "It's time to leave!" So they jumped into the old Caprice And tore off into the night On the 4th of July They flew through the darkness Driving like Jehu And they rolled into Ottumwa Before the sun began to rise On the 4th of July In walks Bob and Janice Rachel's on her way To peek in through the window Hoping to hear her grandson cry On the 4th of July My mother watched the fireworks From her hospital bed And after it was all over She held me for the first time On the 5th of July I've got my mother’s brown eyes And my dad’s quiet way And Grandma Rachel’s love of music The morning I arrived On the 5th of July Deep in Iowa country In a Heavenly Hideaway On the shores of Lake Rathbun My folks brought me home On the 5th of July And that was when Life began for me And that was when Life began for me A teacher and a mechanic Brought me into this world They loved me with all their hearts Since the day I opened my eyes On the 5th of July And that was when Life began for me And that was when Life began for me Explain Request ×
