My mom woke my dad upAnd said "It's time to leave! "So they jumped into the old CapriceAnd tore off into the nightOn the 4th of JulyThey flew through the darknessDriving like JehuAnd they rolled into OttumwaBefore the sun began to riseOn the 4th of JulyIn walks Bob and JaniceRachel's on her wayTo peek in through the windowHoping to hear her grandson cryOn the 4th of JulyMy mother watched the fireworksFrom her hospital bedAnd after it was all overShe held me for the first timeOn the 5th of JulyI've got my mother's brown eyesAnd my dad's quiet wayAnd Grandma Rachel's love for musicThe morning I arrivedOn the 5th of JulyDeep in Iowa countryIn a Heavenly HideawayOn the shores of Lake RathbunMy folks brought me homeOn the 5th of JulyAnd that was whenLife began for meAnd that was whenLife began for meA teacher and a mechanicBrought me into this worldThey loved me with all their heartsSince the day I opened my eyesOn the 5th of JulyAnd that was whenLife began for meAnd that was whenLife began for me
