Tell your folks that I get out today
And how your man thirsts
And how his mind works
And tell the kids that I am here to stay
And tell your new one
That he is my son
(Oh, oh, oh, oh,)
Can't you feel it? Your hometown hero is home, babe
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,)
It's Independence Day
Can't you see the rockets, the red glare?
And all her dreamers
And party streamers
I'd rather be with you here than anywhere
It felt like a century
In the penitentiary
(Oh, oh, oh, oh,)
Can't you feel it? Your hometown hero is home, babe
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,)
It's Independence Day
Outro
Can't you feel it? Your hometown hero is home, babe
Can almost taste it, the whole town's amazin'
Threw your man his own parade
You crack one face at a Pirates game
They don't care who you are, they just put you away
Can't you feel it? That hometown spirit is ho~ome, babe
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,)
It's Independence Day
