lyrics

On July the 5th I made a raft of timber
And followed the Missouri down the map
And to my surprise it drifted to the ocean
And to my demise I’m never coming back

And I know I will live to be an old man
If I’m kept alive by pesticides
Oh, what a funny thing

On July the 4th I told her that I’d missed her
I explained, but I had wanted to explode
And now I celebrate my independence
Floating in the Gulf of Mexico

And when the bottle rockets burst inside my mind
I could see her face as bright as day
Oh, what a funny holiday

Now I know that I will die young
Oh, what a funny way to go
