Alone with the morning burning red in the canvas in my head Painting a picture of you and me driving across country In a dusty old RV, just the road and its majesty And I'm looking at you with the world in the rear view You were pretty as can be, sitting in the front seat Looking at me, telling me you love me and your happy to be With me on the 4th of July we sang 'Stranglehold' to the stereo Couldn't take no more of that rock n' roll So we put on a little George Jones and just sang along Those white lines get drawn into the sun if you ain't got no one To keep you hanging on and there you were like a queen With your nightgown, riding shotgun from town to town Staking a claim on the world we found And I'm singing to you, your singing to me You were out of the blue to a boy like me You were pretty as can be, sitting in the front seat Looking at me, telling me you love me and your happy to be With me on the 4th of July we sang 'Stranglehold' to the stereo Couldn't take no more of that rock n' roll So we put on a little George Jones and just sang along And I'm looking for you in the silence that we share
