lyrics

Born on the Fourth of July
Blue in her veins she’s a highway child
There’s a spotlight fixed to the bypass
They’re searching for a baby boy
Only the strong would survive
And later she’d be the one who they call
To read them their rights
They found her in the barracks and tried to find her family all night

Without a letter or name she was starting again
She was a natural, a young-in heroine
Burning the midnight crime
In a time of the yes-men
She swore to be more than a passing babe
But a lady who would do what’s right

She was born under the badge on the other side
They found her on the side of the road
They found her in the nick of time on the side of the road
She won’t carry a gun but she talks sweet to everyone
She uses her mind for the fight
Out on her own in the dark of the night
She’s got a talent for finding the kind of evidence to go along with an alibi
She was born under the badge on the other side

Out of a rolling home
The call is early morning
She nearly died awake
Dancing on the motor
What, they really only made a dollar here and there now
Don’t matter what you do

You got the atom of love
Only the tragic pay for the world
Standing on the pillars of her only love
Shot down on her only love

Lie in the middle, lie in the middle
You got the atom of love
You wanta be strong but you
You got the atom of love

Times a friend who shows their face when you never expect them again
Every bodies taking their time in the heat
They’re leaving their phones and their heads in the street
If you can carry your own on your back and live for a while, time can get back on its feet

We’re all born under the badge
On the other side
