The 5th Of July (Acoustic Version) lyrics - Owl City

My mother watched the fireworks

From her hospital bed

And after it was all over

She held me for the first time

On the 5th

And deep in Iowa country

In a Heavenly Hideaway

On the shores of Lake Rathbun

My folks brought me home

Oo on the 5th

Oo of July

Oo on the 5th

Oo

A teacher and a mechanic

Brought me into this world

And they've loved me with all their hearts

Since the day I opened my eyes

So I'd do well

To tell myself

To slow down

And tell my folks I love 'em

With all of my heart

'Cause someday

The Lord is gonna call them home

And someday they'll be gone

To slow down

And tell your folks you love 'em

With all of your heart

'Cause someday

The Lord is gonna call them home

And someday they'll be gone

'Cause we all live

Just one life

And mine began

Late that night

Oo on the 5th

Oo of July

Oo on the 5th

Oo of July

Oh on the 5th

Oh of July

Oh on the 5th

Oh
