Jono Manson - The Fourth of July

Jono Manson sings "The Fourh of July" at a solo acoustic concert performed in Santa Fe, NM on March 14, 2008. The song was co-written by Jono Manson, Joe Flood and Brian Henneman.

I guess it's November again
it can't be summer any more
it's colder outside than it's been
with these leaves around the door
you let the day think for itself
and what have you got to show
another fine lost track of time
another fine where did it go

I guess maybe, babe, you and I
should be thankful that we're making time fly
but good times go fast
hard times go slow
and time's the one thing that we can't buy
we could be headed for a fall
but I'm turning my eyes to the sky
I guess that it's November
but it could be the fourth of July

It feels like the same old story
they just change the scenery
I can't say the glass is half full
when it just looks empty to me
and don't you remember when
that same old thing was brand new
and now that old here we go again
has come to what else can we do?

I guess maybe, babe, you and I
should be thankful that we're making time fly
but good times go fast
hard times go slow
and time's the one thing that we can't buy
we could be headed for a fall
but I'm turning my eyes to the sky
I guess that it's November
but it could be the fourth of July
