Verse 1
It was Independence Day
On the village green
I kissed you at the pancake breakfast
We were falling in love and barely eighteen
Horns, drums and 21 guns
Led the parade
As people lined up on Main Street
In their folding chairs sipping lemonade
Chorus
Red, white and blue
Red, white and blue
All the memories of the day I fell in love with you
Are painted red, white and blue
Verse 2
Then we walked along the river
To the country fair
Strolled the lights of the Midway
Hand 'n hand in the evening air
There was lipstick on my collar
Fireworks filled your eyes
We swore with sweet, summer wine
To never forget that 4th of July
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
So, we bought a little house in the heart of town
And it's where we settled down
We've got front row seats every year
Stars and strips march through town
Repeat Chorus.
