What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
She was on fire and wild and American
2
She burns it out probably just because she can
3
And if I had a dollar for every thing I should've said
4
I'd prolly still be busted, I would throw it all away again
5
The lightening bugs light up all across the southern sky
6
Some guys get it all and they don't even need to try
7
I watched you roll away but you didn't even say goodbye
8
And now I hate the night, I'm guessin' that's the reason why
9
And this, this is my life
10
On the 4th of July
11
It isn't much, but at least it's mine
12
Got in my van, ended up in Boston
13
Thought about my friends and how easily I lost them
14
I'd do it all again, I'll leave everyone exhausted
15
Some folks get a break, me I never got one
16
I thought of you at night when I would drink too much
17
If you thought about me too, you'd never tried to get in touch
18
Went back to school and I ran into some guys I knew
19
We started up this band but we couldn't seem to get it through
20
We got some gigs, evetually lost that too
21
Did you ever think that if you're not happy it's because of you
22
And this, this is my life
23
On the 4th of July
24
It isn't much, but at least it's mine
25
I got a job selling ads for magazines
26
At night when I'd play, I'd think about her constantly
27
Everything I loved somehow got away from me
28
And suicide, I talked about it openly
29
I finally quit, or maybe I got fired, I don't know
30
It doesn't matter just as long as it happened though
31
Added up the fears and the doubts I've been living with
32
Songs of lightening bugs, school, work, and all that shit
33
And this, this is my life
34
On the 4th of July
35
It isn't much, but at least it's mine
36
I lost a girl sometime and a couple friends
37
Small talking parties I could never stomach it
38
I'm old enough to say that I remember when
39
But I dont have the time for your nastalgia and crisitisms
40
You live and learn, me, well I learned to let go
41
Parents and bosses and people who don't want you to grow
42
I think that anything that you want to you can do
43
And no one is going to tell me just who the hell I should sing to
44
And this, this is my life
45
On the 4th of July
46
It isn't much, but at least it's mine
47
(x2)
48
(This mine and nothing, nobody is going to ever take this away
49
It's a blue print of your life
50
I'll see ya when it's over
51
It's a journey)
