I will roll down the windows and I’ll set you free   Walk up to you at the church off Cumberland Street   Oh and soon I will see you on the enemy line   I’ll be leavin ‘round noon on the 4th of July      Tennessee in January it ain’t been good to me   Why do they bring me down?   I’ve burned a hole in my wallet buying pills so I can sleep   I’m still wide awake cause I’ve been leaving town      As I fall in line, assume my time, it will just sit upon my lap   Like the bottom and the back of my guitar   I will raise that flag up from the ashes   Wrap it ‘round my neck   Show it some respect when I’m gone      I will roll down the windows and I’ll set you free   Walk up to you at the church off Cumberland Street   Oh and soon I will see you on the enemy line   I’ll be leavin ‘round noon on the 4th of July      As I polish off these leather boots   And I will light up one more smoke with you   Before they send me off to fight the war   I will lay my body down for you as I kiss my wife alone be I go   And I lay it all across my floor      As I fall in line, assume my time, it will just sit upon my lap   Like the bottom and the back of my guitar   I will raise that flag up from the ashes   Wrap it ‘round my neck   Show it some respect when I’m gone      I will roll down the windows and I’ll set you free   Walk up to you at the church off Cumberland Street   Oh and soon I will see you on the enemy line   I’ll be leavin ‘round noon on the 4th of July      Oh...   I’ll be leavin ‘round noon on the 4th of July      I will roll down the windows and I’ll set you free   Walk up to you at the church off Cumberland Street   Oh and soon I will see you on the enemy line   I’ll be leavin ‘round noon on the 4th of July (x2)      I’ll be leavin’ round noon on the 4th of July (x2)
