I don't want to be your stepping stone
taken for granted and left alone
I don't want to be your "I remember him"
to be the man before the man that you let in

I tell you I can't even get through the 4th of July
without thinking who left and when and why
without once at least I stopped and laughed
about you in nothing but that Uncle Sam hat

Yeah, it's a sad and lonely day
to come so close and walk away
don't take it hard, we missed it by a mile
when you think of me - smile
(that's all you gotta do)

Baby, I'm amazed that we got so far
you with your no flying and me with my no cars
now that it's all over I can see the light
It's pretty god damn funny in heinsite (= hindsight)

Yeah, it's a sad and lonely day
to come so close and walk away
don't take it hard, we missed it by a mile
when you think about me baby, when you think of me - you just smile

Oh, smile, babe, when you think of me baby
(Instrumental)

Yeah, it's a sad and lonely day
to come so close and walk away
no baby, don't take it hard, we missed it by a mile
when you think about me baby, when you think of me - you just smile
that's all you gotta do
when you think about me baby, just smile
(that's right)
