Fire cracker! You waved in the night And something that I saw was flaming Your body, it was real in the light On the Fourth of July we were screaming Well, I saw the lonely road You left and said to me don't follow Cause I'll only bring you sorrow And on down my lonely road You left and I just said, "Oh no, no, no, no, no." All I said, "No, no, no, no, no." Well I'm back in my old town again Is there something still alive that I left Here? You still like the boys on the street I will take you uptown just to see you Meet them And I saw the lonely road You left and said to me don't follow Cause I'll only bring you sorrow And on down my lonely road You left and I just said, "Oh no, no, no, no, no." All I said, "No, no, no, no, no." You know, I've been reading the bible For a change Maybe there's something I have missed There I said, I've seen, well, I've seen some Eyes in the rain And they creep at my mind and I saw You whisper Well, fire cracker you waved in the night And something that I saw was flaming Do you feel like we left something here? Something worth coming back and Claiming? Well, I saw the lonely road You left and said to me don't follow Cause I'll only bring you sorrow And on down my lonely road You left and said to me don't follow You sleep and dream for tomorrow Down in the dead of night You left and said to me don't follow Cause I'll only bring you sorrow And on down my lonely road You left and I just said, "Oh no, no, no, no, no." Well, I said, No, no, no, no, no
