The 5th Of July – Owl CityBy My mum woke my dad upAnd said “it’s time to leave”So they jumped in the old CapriceAnd tore off into the nightOn the 4th of JulyThey flew through the darknessDriving like JehuAnd they rolled into OttumwaBefore the sun begun to riseOn the 4th of JulyAnd in walks Bob and JaniceRachel’s on her wayTo peek in through the windowHoping to hear her grandson cryOn the 4th of JulyMy mother watched the fireworksFrom her hospital bedAnd after it was all overShe held me for the first timeOn the 5th of JulyI’ve got my mother’s brown eyesAnd my dad’s quiet wayAnd Grandma Rachel’s love for musicThe morning I arrivedOn the 5th of JulyDeeping in Iowa countryAnd a heavenly hideawayOn the shores of Lake RathbunMy folks brought me homeOn the 5th of JulyThat was when (that was when)Life began (life began)For meThat was when (that was when)Life began (life began)For meA teacher and a mechanicBrought me into this worldThey loved me with all their hearts sinceThe day I opened my eyesOn the 5th of JulyThat was when (that was when)Life began (life began)For meThat was when (that was when)Life began (life began)For me www.pillowlyrics.com419786497975 88k 20
