Lyrics
I remember him standing by the water
He was standing with a big crowd
Watching the fireworks on the Fourth of July
We were driving past the edge of town
With the windows down
We stopped to dance by a field
With the music up loud on the Fourth of July
I remember the ground trembling under my back
As two trains passed running down opposite tracks
A million fields and a million nights
A million revolutions trying to get it right
A million words have been dishonored
A million reapers come from sacred waters
A million tracks running million lights
On two trains, we're just running in time
Across the road, that woman was sweeping the parking lot
Man getting gas was watching her
The night was hot on the Fourth of July
Chuck Berry on the radio was singing "Sweet Sixteen"
Dirty wires touch the ground where the fence posts lean
On the Fourth of July
I remember the ground trembling under my back
As two trains passed running down opposite tracks
A million fields and a million nights
A million revolutions trying to get it right
A million words have been dishonored
A million reapers come from sacred waters
A million tracks running million lights
On two trains, we're just running in time
