And she flies to a place where she's loved

I was standin' in the grocery store line
The one they marked express
When this woman came through with about 25 things
And I said, 'Don't you know that more is less?'

I just get more behind every day
And every mornin' when I make my coffee
I can't believe my life's turned out this way'

Hey baby, how you been?

And baby, you can't have me now

Yeah, I'm a mother, and he's a father
And we're a family, and we got each other
And I found out the hard way that...
(Repeat Chorus)
3rd Verse
You drive three miles from all this prosperity
Down across the river, and you see a ghetto there
And we got children walkin' around with guns

With a little money in my pocket and a nice warm home
And we got teenagers walkin' around in a culture of darkness
Livin' together alone, all I can say is...

And I can't explain it, and I can't understand
But I'll come down and get my hands dirty
And together we'll make a stand

Somewhere 'cross the parkin' lot
Some band's playin' out of tune
City streets are gonna burn
If we don't do somethin' soon
And Seņorita can't quit cryin'
Baby's due now any day
Don Juan left, got sick of tryin'
No one there to show him the way
She came down to the grocery store, and
She said, 'I, I wanna but a little carton of milk
But I don't have any money'
I said 'Hey, I'll cover you, honey
'Cause the pain's gotta go somewhere'
Yeah, the pain's gotta go someplace
So come on down to my house
Don't you know that'...

1st Verse
I'm rollin' out of Bakersfield
My own private hell on wheels
But this time I'm gone for good
I've never gone this far before
Beyond the slammin' of the back screen door
But you never loved me like you should
Chorus
(And) ('Cause) there ain't no tellin' what I'll find
But I might as well move down the line
'Cause there's no comfort here in your zip code
I'd rather break down on the highway
With no one to share my load
And cry on the shoulder of the road
2nd Verse
It makes me feel a little low
A steel guitar on the radio
And it's kinda scary
The way these truckers fly
So this is how leavin' feels
Drinkin' coffee and makin' deals
With the One above
To get me through the night
(Chorus Out)
"Independence Day" by Martina McBride (Gretchen Peters)
1st Verse
Well, she seemed alright by dawn's early light
Though she looked a little worried and weak
She tried to pretend he wasn't drinkin' again
But Daddy left the proof on her cheek
And I was only eight years old that summer
And I always seemed to be in the way
So I took myself down to the fair in town
On Independence Day
2nd Verse
Well, word gets around in a small, small town
They said he was a dangerous man
But Mama was proud, and she stood her ground
She knew she was on the losin' end
Some folks whispered, some folks talked
But everybody looked the other way
When time ran out, there was no one about
On Independence Day
Chorus
Let freedom ring
Let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today
Is a day of reckoning
Let the weak be strong
Let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away
Let the guilty pay
It's Independence Day
3rd Verse
Well, she lit up the sky that Fourth of July
By the time that the firemen come
They just put out the flames and took down some names
And sent me to the county home
Now, I'm ain't sayin' it's right or it's wrong
But maybe it's the only way
Talk about your revolution
It's Independence Day
(Chorus Out)
