Old steel factory casting shadows 

What it meant to me no one could know 

Kept him away from me and I was greatful 

And to the bar across the street where he made last call 



(Chorus) 

Big man 

Beer can 

Back hand 

My last stand 

Late night 

Fist fight 

Black eye 

Who's right 



Minor tragedy family outing 

Major catastrophe two week vacation 

Long year seventeen birthday coming 

July 5th I can leave no more running 

Old steel factory casting shadows 

Come July 

Please come July
