Independence Day

by Martina McBride
on The Way That I Am

Lyrics

Well she seemed all right by dawn's early light
Though she looked a little worried and weak.
She tried to pretend he wasn't drinkin' again
But daddy'd left the proof on her cheek.

my independence was 6/7/86 when i left my ex and took my two babies and left for good due to domestic violence thank you for the beautiful song that gave me the strength to get me and them out before it was to late thank you Martina from me and the boys
I believe it's talking about her ( the mom) using the 4th of July as her own Independence day. It's the day she freed herself & her daugher from the abusive father. At least that the way I see it.

They play this song on conservative radio here between commericials , I assume to display patriotic music. I wish they would listen to the lyrics, it's not about US Independence , its about freedom from domestic violence!!!!
