Sunset's painting up the sky
There's something in my eye
Why am I crying?
It's the fourth of July

Friends come up to me and say
It's gonna be your day
Why are they lying?
On the fourth of July

Could it have something to do with the fact
That I've been feeling blue since Friday?
You came in with him again
And, suddenly, I knew it wasn't my day
Oh-oh, well, anyway

Could it have something to do with the fact
That I've been feeling blue since Friday?
You walked in with him again
And, suddenly, I knew it wasn't my day
Oh-oh, well, anyway
Oh, well, anyway
Well, anyway
Oh, no, no, well, anyway

Sunset's painting up the sky
There's something in my eye
Why am I crying?
On the fourth of July
Why am I crying?
On the fourth of July, ooh
Why, why am I crying?
It's the fourth of July
