The 5th Of July

[00:00.43] Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[00:09.21] My mum woke my dad up and said "it's time to leave"

[00:18.26] So they jumped in the old Caprice

[00:22.77] And tore off into the night

[00:27.59] On the 4th of July

[00:30.53] They flew through the darkness

[00:35.31] Driving like Jehu

[00:40.10] And they rolled into Ottumwa

[00:45.15] Before the sun begun to rise

[00:49.41] On the 4th of July

[00:52.88] And in walks Bob and Janice

[00:56.90] Rachel's on her way

[01:01.73] To peek in through the window

[01:06.53] Hoping to hear her grandson cry

[01:11.59] On the 4th of July

[01:11.59] My mother watched the fireworks

[01:40.66] From her hospital bed

[01:45.44] And after it was all over

[01:50.26] She held me for the first time

[01:55.31] On the 5th of July

[01:57.70] I've got my mother's brown eyes

[02:02.25] And my dad's quiet way

[02:06.52] And Grandma Rachel's love for music

[02:11.84] The morning I arrived

[02:16.62] On the 5th of July

[02:19.57] Deep in Iowa country

[02:23.83] In a Heavenly Hideaway

[02:27.86] On the shores of Lake Rathbun

[02:33.73] My folks brought me home

[02:38.79] On the 5th of July

[02:45.99] That was when (that was when)

[02:47.85] Life began (life began) for me

[02:51.31] Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[02:55.83] That was when (that was when)

[02:57.16] Life began (life began) for me

[03:03.00] A teacher and a mechanic

[03:07.77] Brought me into this world

[03:12.31] They loved me with all their hearts

[03:16.57] Since the day I opened my eyes

[03:20.85] On the 5th of July

[03:27.49] Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[03:31.76] That was when (that was when)

[03:33.88] Life began (life began) for me

[03:36.80] Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[03:41.32] That was when (that was when)

[03:42.93] Life began (life began) for me

[03:46.41] Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[03:54.93] Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
