Letra de Independence Day (Live at The Roxy, West Hollywood, CA - 7/7/1978)
I wrote this song a long time ago And I dedicate it to my father, he's always I tease him a whole lot and he was always telling me That, "You should do, you should be better than me whatever you do", you know And this is for him This is called "Independence Day"Well, Papa, go to bed now, it's getting late Ain't no talking gonna change anything now I'll be leaving in the morning from St. Mary's Gate We wouldn't change this thing even if we could somehow'Cause the darkness of this house has got the best of us And there's a darkness in this town that's got us too But they can't touch me now and you can't touch me now They ain't gonna do to me what I watched them do to youSo say goodbye, it's Independence Day It's Independence Day, all the boys must run away Oh, say goodbye, it's Independence Day All men must go their way come Independence DayWell, Papa, I don't know what it always was with us We chose the words and, yeah, we drew the lines This house know how could it hold the two of us I guess that we were just too much of the same kindSo say goodbye, it's Independence Day All the boys must run away come Independence Day Oh, say goodbye, it's Independence Day All men must make their way come Independence DayWell, now the rooms are all empty down at Frankie's joint And the highway is deserted, clear down to Breaker's Point Lot of people leaving town, leaving their friends, their homes At night, they walk that dark and dusty highway all aloneSo, Papa go to bed now, it's getting late Nothing we can say is gonna change anything now Because there's different people coming down here now, and they see things in different ways And soon everything we've known will just be swept awaySo say goodbye, it's Independence Day Papa, now I know the things you wanted that you could not say Say goodbye, it's Independence Day I swear I never meant to take those things away
